New Zealand vs Namibia Match Prediction & Betting Tips, T20 World Cup 2021
New Zealand and Namibia meet on Friday early afternoon in both sides’ penultimate games in the Super 12 stage. New Zealand have won two of their three games with their only defeat coming against Pakistan. Namibia have won one and lost two with their only victory coming against Scotland. Read on as we preview this game. The match begins at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah at 14:00 local time.
New Zealand did not have it all their own way against Scotland and may well find Namibia similar opponents. However, they should have more than enough to win the game.
Namibia did not disgrace themselves against Pakistan on Tuesday but never really looked like causing an upset. No one will be expecting them to win this but they will give it their all again.

NZ vs NAM Match Toss Prediction
We expect that both captains would prefer to field first in this game. England showed that you can defend a total in Sharjah but we predict that Kane Williamson and Gerhard Erasmus will insert the opposition.
NZ vs NAM Match Pitch Report
The pitch does not provide a great deal of bounce and remains the most productive for spinners in the tournament. It is generally not a batters’ paradise although Jos Buttler did produce a century here on Monday.
Weather Report
The temperature will stay above 30 degrees with sunny conditions throughout this game.

NZ Team News
Adam Milne was again expensive in the win over Scotland with his 4 overs going for 36 runs and could well see his place under threat from Kyle Jamieson. Ish Sodhi conceded 42 runs but should enjoy the pitch conditions in Sharjah in this match.
NZ Key Players
- Martin Guptill- the opener rolled back the years with his 56-ball 93 against Scotland. His innings included 6 fours and 7 sixes.
- Mitchell Santner- the left-arm spinner has provided excellent control in the last two games and we expect him to be used in a more attacking role in this match.
- Trent Boult- the left arm pace bowler has 6 wickets in the tournament so far and has not conceded 30 overs in any game so far in this competition.
After losing to Pakistan in their opening game of T20 World Cup, New Zealand have responded well with successive wins over India and Scotland.
New Zealand Predicted Playing 11
Martin Guptill, Daryl Mitchell, Kane Williamson (c), Devon Conway (wk), Glenn Phillips, Jimmy Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Kyle Jamieson, Ish Sodhi, Trent Boult
Namibia Team News & Playing 11
NAM Team News
Captain Gerhard Erasmus broke his finger in one of the warm-up games ahead of the World Cup but has soldiered on throughout the tournament. With Namibia still having a chance of progressing to the next stage, we expect to see Erasmus still in the XI for this game.
NAM Key Players
- Craig Williams- the top order batter impressed with 40 from 37 balls against Pakistan on Tuesday. He hit 5 fours and 1 six in the innings.
- David Wiese- the former South African international has made a big difference to the Namibia side and has delivered with bat and ball during the competition.
- Jan Frylinck- the left-arm medium fast bowler has been a constant wicket taker throughout Namibia’s time in the UAE and took the wicket of Fakhar Zaman against Pakistan.
Namibia have lost their last two games against Afghanistan and Pakistan but had won their previous three games in the tournament.
Namibia Predicted Playing 11
Zane Green (wk), Craig Williams, Michael van Lingen, Gerhard Erasmus (c), David Wiese, JJ Smit, Jan Frylinck, Pikky Ya France, Nicol Loftie-Eaton, Ruben Trumpelmann, Bernard Scholtz

🏆 New Zealand vs Namibia Prediction
Kane Williamson’s side had to work hard to get over the line against Scotland and Martin Guptill’s innings was the difference between the sides. This could be a similar game with one of New Zealand’s experienced players putting in a strong performance to help them register another victory.
