Namibia Team News & Playing 11
NAM Team News
Gerhard Erasmus’ side have impressed many observers in this series and all without David Wiese producing a huge performance with either bat or ball. Namibia will certainly be a side to watch during the T20 World Cup. We expect to see them end the series strongly in this match.
NAM Key Players
- Craig Williams- the opener is in excellent batting form in this format. His past three innings have yielded scores of 81, 57 and 50.
- David Wiese- the former South-African international made a golden duck against Scotland but also picked up 2-24 with the ball.
- Jan Frylinck- the left-arm pace bowler will be leading their bowling attack in the T20 World Cup. He combines wickets with control.
Namibia have now won five straight games in this format. Another win in this game will see them approach the T20 World Cup in the best form of any side.

PNG Team News
The batting was not terrible against Scotland with PNG posting 154-5. However, the total was mainly due to captain Assad Vala (55) and Sese Bau (38*). Another 40 overs of game time will be very useful for the side ahead of the T20 World Cup.
PNG Key Players
- Assad Vala- the captain impressed with a controlled half-century against Scotland. He hit 8 fours but did not hit any sixes during the defeat.
- Sese Bau- the left-hander scored runs at a strike-rate of 146.15 on Friday and looks to be carving out the role of finisher in this side.
- Nosaina Pokana- the left-arm pace bowler has 19 wickets from 20 IT20s. His best figures of 3-21 came against Kenya in 2019.
PNG have clearly suffered from a lack of game time in this format over the past 18 months. They were well beaten by Scotland on Friday.
Papua New Guinea Predicted Playing 11
Assad Vala (c), Charles Amini, Tony Ura, Sese Bau, Kiploin Doriga (wk), Nosain Pokana, Chad Soper, Norman Vanua, Jason Kila, Kabua Vagi Morea. Simon Atai

The Namibians have looked very strong in every game in Duabi with PNG clearly the weakest team in terms of results so far. We think there is more to come from PNG but ultimately we expect Namibia to comfortably win this final match of the series.
