The second ODI between Nepal (NEP) and Papua New Guinea (PNG) is set to take place at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur on Saturday.

Assad Vala and Co. will be eager to seal a crucial series win with another such performance. The visitors, meanwhile, will have to negate a decent Nepali bowling attack led by Sandeep Lamichhane. With both teams eyeing a win, a cracking game beckons in Kirtipur.

Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 250-260 being par at the venue.
Today’s NEP vs PNG Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Tony Ura: Tony Ura had a decent outing in the previous game, but he couldn't convert his start into a big one. He has been in decent form over the last few matches and will be keen to play a big knock against Nepal, making him one to watch out for in this game.
Batter
Rohit Paudel: Rohit Paudel was the star of the show for Nepal in the first ODI, scoring a superlative hundred and nearly winning the game for his side. Paudel has grown into his role of a middle-order batter, playing both pace and spin well. With Paudel in good nick, he is a good addition to your NEP vs PNG Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Assad Vala: Assad Vala has been a consistent performer for Papua New Guinea for quite some time now, coming up with valuable contributions in the middle order. Taking into account his spin-bowling prowess and the conditions on offer, Vala should be a must-have in your NEP vs PNG Dream11 fantasy team
Bowler
Sandeep Lamichhane: Sandeep Lamichhane had a rare off-day in the previous game, proving to be expensive in the middle overs. The Nepali spinner has a brilliant record in white-ball cricket and can be backed to come good in the second ODI. With the pitch likely to be on the slower side as well, Lamichhane could be a handy differential pick for your side.
