Afghanistan and Namibia will clash in the 27th match of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. We will cover AFG vs NAM Dream11 Prediction, Probable Playing 11, and Fantasy Cricket Tips.
Afghanistan:
Afghanistan lost their 2nd match but is still at the 2nd position on Group 2’s ICC T20 World Cup points table. They are playing pretty well in this tournament.
Hazratullah Zazai and Shahzad, who performed well in the first match, got out early in the previous game. In the middle-order, Gurbaz, Asghar Afghan, and Karim Janat also got out to low scores. In the end, Najibullah, Nabi, and Gulbadin Naib batted brilliantly and put up a fighting total for the team.
The spinners are performing brilliantly, but the fast bowlers have conceded runs and failed to pick up wickets. Mujeeb and Rashid have picked up wickets consistently. Naveen Ul Haq and Mohammed Nabi got one wicket each in the last game.
Afghanistan still can qualify for the Semi-Finals, but they need to win against bigger teams like India and New Zealand.
Namibia:
Namibia won their first Super 12 and is currently at the 3rd position on Group 1’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup points table.
Craig Williams and Michael van Lingen opened the innings in the previous match and gave a decent start but played more overs. Zane Green and Erasmus got out without scoring much in the middle-order, but David Wiese and JJ Smit scored some quick runs and took the team to victory.
The bowlers are doing a great job as they restricted the opponents to a less total. Jan Frylinck, David Wiese, and JJ Smit are the crucial bowlers of the team, and Ruben Trumpelmann picked up three wickets in the last match.
Namibia needs to improve their batting a bit, and they can give a tough competition to Afghanistan in the next match.
