UAE vs NAM Betting Tips
- Rohan Mustafa has 3 half-centuries in this format and is our tip for the UAE’s highest run scorer in this game. Junaid Siddique has 16 wickets from 13 IT20s and is worth backing as UAE’s top wicket taker against Namibia.
- Craig Williams is a strong bet for Namibia’s leading run scorer against the UAE, he hit 81 from 49 balls in their last match. With the ball, Jan Frylink took 3-21 in Namibia’s last IT20 and is our recommendation for their top wicket taker against the UAE.
- Rohan Mustafa is an excellent all round player and has 45 international wickets in this format. He is our tip for the Player of The Match Award.

UAE Team News
The UAE are hosting this tournament and will be doing the same in the upcoming T20 World Cup. With home advantage and their relatively high ranking, the UAE side will be expected to perform to a high standard in this game. Their players have benefited from the influx of quality T10 tournaments in recent years.
UAE Key Players
- Rohan Mustafa - the experienced all-rounder has played 82 international games and is approaching 50 wickets in ODIs and IT20s.
- Zahoor Khan - the medium-fast bowler has 27 IT20 wickets at an average of 18.62 from 22 games. He is yet to take a 4-wicket haul in an IT20 match.
- Junaid Siddique - the pace bowler enjoyed a very successful Abu Dhabi T10 competition earlier this year including recording figures of 4-20 in one match.

The UAE have won their last five IT20 matches but have not played a game in this format since February 2020.

Namibia Team News & Playing 11
NAM Team News
Namibia whitewashed Uganda in their IT20 series back in April of this year but this game will be a much tougher proposition. The Namibians were a force to be reckoned with back at the turn of the century before a period of underachieving but are now expected to challenge again.
NAM Key Players
- Craig Williams - The top order batsman has played 16 IT20s and has made his runs at a strike-rate of 124.63. He also has an ODI century to his name.
- JJ Smit - The pace bowler is probably the best known of the entire Namibian squad after he became the first Namibian to sign for an international T20 franchise side in June 2019.
- Jan Frylinck - The left-handed batsman and left-handed bowler is an all-rounder to be reckoned with. He has a higher batting average than bowling average in both ODIs and IT20s.
NAM Team Form
You can only beat what is in front of you and Namibia did just that in their series against Uganda earlier this year
Namibia Predicted Playing 11
Stephan Baard, Craig Williams, Jean-Pierre Kotze (wk), JJ Smit, Gerhard Erasmus, Nicol Loftie-Eaton, Michiel du Preez, Jan Frylinck, Bernard Scholtz, Ben Shikongo, Tangeni Lungameni

UAE vs Namibia Head to Head
The teams have never met in an IT20 before but the UAE have won both meetings in ODI cricket.
🏆 UAE vs Namibia Prediction
Neither team has had a meaningful or competitive IT20 match for quite a while so this game should provide excellent preparation for the up-coming T20 World Cup. We are predicting a close match with the UAE benefitting from local conditions to come out on top.
