Match Preview

Match : Afghanistan vs Namibia, WCT20-2021

Venue: Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi

Date & Time: Oct 31, 3:30 PM IST

Pitch Report :

We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 170 is going to be tough to chase.

Weather Report :

The maximum temperature in Abu Dhabi on Sunday would be 33°C. Apart from that, the humidity would be around 58%.

Probable XI :

Afghanistan

Hazratullah Zazai, Mohammad Shahzad (wk), Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Asghar Afghan, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi (c), Karim Janat, Gulbadin Naib, Rashid Khan, Naveen-ul-Haq, Mujeeb Ur Rahman.

Namibia

Craig Williams, Michael van Lingen, Zane Green (wk), Gerhard Merwe Erasmus (c), David Wiese, JJ Smit, Jan Frylinck, Pikky Ya France, Jan Nicol Lofie-Eaton, Ruben Trumpelmann, Bernard Scholtz.

Preview :

After losing their second match of the Super 12 stage against Pakistan by 5 wickets, Afghanistan would look to get back to winning ways on Sunday. They began their Super 12 campaign with a massive 130-run win over Scotland but couldn’t replicate a similar performance on Friday.

Afghanistan won the toss against Pakistan and once again elected to bat first. However, they didn’t get the start that they desired. Courtesy of an exceptional bowling performance from Pakistan bowlers, Afghanistan lost 4 wickets for just 36 runs in the first six overs. Karim Jannat (15 off 17) and Najibullah (22 off 21) made some recovery but couldn’t go on to play big knocks.

Afghanistan, as a result, lost 6 wickets for 76 runs and it looked like they would get bundled out for less than 100. However, M Nabi (35 off 32) and Gulbadin (35 off 25) made a great recovery and took the team to 147 runs in the first innings.

In the second innnings, Afghanistan spin trio almost sealed the game for the team but Asif Ali’s assault in the penultimate over dampened all hopes. Mujeeb Ur Rahman, once again, was brilliant in the powerplay. His accuracy denied Pakistan to get a good start. Rahman bowled all four overs in a single spell and gave away just 14 runs in 4 overs, including the wicket of M Rizwan. Rashid Khan was brought into the attack after the halfway stage of the game.

Facing them are Namibia, who are have been nothing short of outstanding this season. Namibia began their Super 12 campaign with a 4-wicket win over Scotland. Owing to a sensational first over from Ruben Trumplemann, Namibia reduced Scotland to 2 for 3 in just 0.4 overs. None of the batsmen in the top-five made a major contribution as Scotland lost half of their side on 57.

However, a valuable 36-run partnership between Leask and Chris Greaves helped Scotland reach 109 runs at the end of the first innings. Ruben Trumplemann starred with the ball, picking 3 for 17 in 4 overs, while Jan Frylinck picked 2 for 10 in 4 overs.

Namibia lost six wickets in pursuit of the chase. Scotland denied Namibia to develop partnerships. However, a valuable 33-run knock off 23 balls from JJ Smit eventually helped Scotland chase down the score in 19.1 overs.

The 27th match of the ICC T20 World Cup is scheduled to be played at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium on Sunday at Sheikh Zayed Stadium. The pitch is likely to assist spinners and the Namibia batsmen is likely to have a tough time facing the Afghanistan spin trio. There is no denying the fact that Afghanistan will go into the contest as the favorites.
