Ireland vs Namibia Betting Tips 22/10/2021

Teams Status

Ireland

Ireland have a win and a loss after playing two matches in Group A, which gives them second place in the group currently. Fortunately for them, their final fixture, against Namibia is the most winnable of all their matches.

The confidence in the Irish camp could be a bit down, thanks (or no thanks) to the manner of their defeat to Sri Lanka in the last game.

Chasing 172, the Irish were not favoured to win but not expected to fold as easily as they did either. Managing just 101 is not what you expect from a side considered the best of all the minnows given entry into this World Cup.

That said, they still have their destiny pretty much in their hands. A win over Namibia should let them retain the second spot in the group and guarantee progression to the main round.

Namibia

After the way they were whopped by Sri Lanka in their opener, few thought much of Namibia. They were supposed to lose all their games but sprang a surprise in their last game, thrashing the favoured Netherlands by six wickets on Wednesday.

As predicted in our preview, David Wiese was the star of the show. His boundary-laden 66 off 40 is what helped the Namibian chase down the 165-run target.

Before Wiese’s shellacking began from number five position, Namibia had gotten several starts but none lasted too long. Even captain Gerhard Erasmus was in good touch with a well-made 32 off 22.

The manner of their victory will restore confidence in the Namibians, even if they’d still be second-favourites for this fixture.

Tipster’s Angle

Tip: Ireland to win @ 1.52

The Irish were completely flat in their defeat to Sri Lanka but then it was Sri Lanka – a much more talented team. Against the Namibians, the Irish should be back to their usual self. The odds of 1.52 (Dafabet) are slightly shorter than our liking but we’d still pound it.

Tip: Kevin O’Brien Total Runs Over (18.5)

Kevin O’Brien’s bat has been silent through the first two matches of the World T20. In fact, his rough patch began in the warm-ups. He is a better batsman than that. We expect the veteran batter to stand up and pull his weight, which for our purposes, is a mere 18.5 runs. The play can be found on 22Bet.

Conclusion

The Namibians have shown signs of life but the task of them against Ireland should be a bit too much for them. We see value in betting on the Irish.
