PAPUA NEW GUINEA v UGANDA
This game takes place at the Providence Stadium in Georgetown, Guyana and both of these sides will be looking to bounce back from defeats in their opening matches.
Papua New Guinea batted first against the West Indies and scored a 136 for 8 and their bowling attack gave the West Indies plenty to think about with the Windies eventually winning with an over to spare and 5 wickets in hand.
Uganda fielded first against Afghanistan and had to chase 184 for victory. They were in trouble from the start and were bowled out for 58, to lose by 125 runs.

Papua New Guinea 3/10
Uganda 12/5
Suggested Bet: Top Bowler Alei Nao at 43/10
I was very impressed with him in the opening match and if he can reproduce that line and length I see him amongst the wickets.
AUSTRALIA v OMAN
This game takes place at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados and Australia will make their Tournament debut while Oman will be looking to bounce back from what turned out to be a nail-biting defeat against Namibia.
Oman batted first and were bowled out for 109 and what looked like an easy run chase became a struggle as the match went to a Super Over which Namibia won convincingly.

Australia 1/50
Oman 18/1
Suggested Bet: Top Batter, Travis Head at 53/20
If Oman bats first there is every chance Australia will be chasing a low score and a flying start by Head could be enough to see this one home.
Suggested Bet: Oman Top Bowler, Mehran Khan at 43/10
He was superb against Namibia picking up 3 wickets for 7 runs in 3 overs and he looks a tasty price in this market.
USA v PAKISTAN
This game takes place at the Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium in Dallas, Texas. It was the ground for the United States first game against Canada where they chased down 197 for victory with 2.2 overs remaining and 7 wickets in hand.
Pakistan play their first match of the Tournament.

USA 7/1
Pakistan 1/10
Suggested Bet: USA Top Batsman, Corey Anderson at 13/2
Aaron Jones was superb with his 94 not out against Canada, but I am keen to go for someone slightly further down the order here as I expect Pakistan to make early inroads into the USA batting.

NAMIBIA v SCOTLAND
This game takes place on the Kensington Oval in a double header with Australia v Oman.
Namibia top Group B as things stand after a Super Over victory over Oman in their opening game. David Wiese delivered Player of the Match honours for us in that one.
Scotland are on 1 point after their game against England was a no result due to weather. They were travelling very well on 90 without loss after 10 overs when the rain came down.

Namibia 19/20
Scotland 17/20
Suggested Bet: Scotland win at 17/20
Based on the evidence of their opening matches, Scotland look the play here. We didn’t get to see them bowl, but their opening pair looked strong and Namibia really battled to chase down a low score against Oman.
Remember there will be in-running betting on all of the matches and keep an eye on the WSB Blog for daily previews.
