The 27th fixture of the T20 World Cup 2021 sees Afghanistan take on Namibia on October 31 (Sunday) at Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi. The match is scheduled to begin at 3:30 pm IST.

Teams Status

Afghanistan

Afghanistan’s unbeaten start to the World Cup came to an end last night when they were beaten by high-flying Pakistan, in which there is no shame as bigger and better teams such as India and New Zealand have been beaten by the Green Shirts.

That said, the Afghans do need to work on several things, especially with their batting. Against Pakistan, it seemed as if they only knew one way of batting: hitting boundaries. And when not hitting boundaries, the alternative was to get out.

That practice early on reduced them to 76-6 and if it wasn’t for their captain Mohammad Nabi and Gulbadin Naib’s 71-run partnership, Afghans would have settled for a lot less than the 147 they managed.

There is a lot of room for improvement – not just in ability and skills but also in strategy and tactics.

Namibia

Namibia, arguably the lightest and the easiest of teams in World Cup 2021, currently are on a three-match winning streak in World Cup 2021, although two of those wins came in the opening round of the competition.

Their sole main round win, the one against Scotland, was the product of their pace unit, which claimed all seven wickets that fell in that innings.

Then, JJ Smit was the batting hero as his unbeaten 32 got the Namibian run chase over the lone.

Tipster’s Angle

Tip: Afghanistan Total Runs In First 1 Overs Over 5.5 @ 1.725

After a top-order failure against Pakistan, we expect Afghan openers to come back with a vengeance, especially now when they have to face the easier pace of Namibia. The odds for this play have been sourced from 22Bet.

Tip: Mujeeb Ur Rahman Total Wickets Over (1.5) @ 1.91

After a quiet night against Pakistan where he picked up just a single wicket, mystery spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman must be raring to go again and add a few more to his tally. He is very hard to hit and very easy to get out to in this format, and this should show against Namibia. The odds have been sourced from 22Bet.
