Both teams come into the game with a win in the previous match. Netherlands defeated UAE in a low-scoring thriller by three wickets to get their campaign off to a winning start while Namibia pulled off one of the biggest upsets in T20 World Cup history by thrashing Sri Lanka by 55 runs.
Namibia showed great character in the match and kept on coming back from adverse situations. From 93/6 they went on to post 163/7 and then bowled out Sri Lanka for 55.
Meanwhile, the Netherlands were top-notch with the ball and restricted UAE to a mere 111/8, however, an inspirational fightback from UAE saw the Netherlands struggle in the chase. They managed to cross the line in the last over with just three wickets to spare.
The surface has looked two-paced in the first two games. The boundaries are also large thus it is not easy to score big runs here.
It will be a cloudy day with a 10 per cent chance of rain. The temperature will range between 21 and 10 degrees.

Baard looked good during his short stay in the first match and went on to score 26 runs. He is one of the more experienced batters in the side and has scored 622 runs in 23 T20Is including 4 half-centuries. He will be a key player in the team.
The destructive opener is one of the best Netherlands batters. While he can be inconsistent at times, he is a match-winner on his day. He has scored 1370 T20I runs for the Netherlands with one century and nine half-centuries.
David Weise bowled splendidly well in the last game and picked two wickets for 16 runs. He missed out with the bat in the last game but he is an equally dangerous batter down the order. Weise will be eyeing another good show for his team against Namibia
He played a significant role in Namibia’s win over Sri Lanka. First, he scored a blazing 44 off 28 balls to take Namibia to 163/7 and then bowled a spell of 2/26 to complete a fantastic game. The all-rounders are key to success in T20Is and Frylinck has proved that he is an important player for the Namibia side.
He picked up three wickets in the previous game against UAE. Leede is also one of the top batters in the side and thus is a valuable pick for any fantasy team.
