Namibia vs UAE Match Prediction & Betting Tips, T20 World Cup 2022
Namibia take on UAE in Match 10 of the 2022 T20 World Cup on Thursday evening. After beating Sri Lanka in their opening game, Namibia lost to Netherlands by five wickets on Tuesday. UAE have played two and lost two so far in this tournament. Read on as we preview this fixture. The game begins at 19:00 local time at Kardinia Park in Geelong.
High on confidence after their win over Sri Lanka, Namibia were brought back down to earth by Netherlands on Tuesday. However, they should have more than enough quality to defeat UAE.
UAE were not far away from beating Netherlands in their opening match but found Sri Lanka far too strong for them in their second match. It will require a big performance with bat and ball if UAE are to beat Namibia.

UAE Team News
Top order batter Aryan Lakra replaced pace bowler Zawar Farid in the UAE XI ahead of the match against Sri Lanka in T20 World Cup 2022. Although Lakra made only one run from three balls, we expect he will keep his place in the team for this clash against Nambia.
