AUS vs NAM Team Previews
Australia
Australia currently occupy second position in group B on the back of successive wins. After beating Oman, they asserted their status as one of the title favourites by defeating England. One more win will all but secure the Australians a berth in the next stage of the tournament.
Marcus Stoinis and David Warner have been Australia's standout performers with the bat in this T20 World Cup so far. Stoinis has 97 runs to Warner's 95. Both have batted twice. They're packing plenty of punch at the top and in the middle order - and could be key in this match as well.
As one of the best all-rounders at the tournament, Stoinis has also taken four wickets. Leg-spinner Adam Zampa, too, has four wickets this T20 World Cup. Their slower deliveries and spin have shown that variety is important for bowling attacks in these Caribbean conditions.
Australia Playing 11
David Warner, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Timothy David, Matthew Wade, Pat Cummins, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood.
Namibia
Namibia are in third position in the five-team group B. They beat Oman by a tight margin before losing to Scotland. They will want to put their campaign back on track here, but will be hugely challenged by a dominant Australian outfit determined to avoid an upset.
Gerhard Erasmus and Jan Frylinck will be among the top Namibia batters to watch. Erasmust hit 52 against Scotland, while Frylinck collected 45 against Oman. Erasmus has taken four wickets in two matches as well. He is proving to be a valuable all-rounder for the Namibian team again.
Ruben Trumpelmann has been in good form with the ball as well. As one of the best left-arm seamers among the smaller teams at this tournament, he has collected five wickets in two matches. The tally includes a four-for against Oman. Trumpelmann has received good support from veteran seamer David Wiese.
Namibia Playing 11
Nikolaas Davin, Michael Van Lingen, Jan Frylinck, Gerhard Erasmus, Jonathan Smit, David Wiese, Zane Green, Ruben Trumpelmann, Bernard Scholtz, Jack Brassell, Ben Shikongo.

Bonus Cricket Bets
Bet on the Australians to win the toss. There is a 50 percent chance of this happening. If the Aussies win the toss, they will likely choose to bowl first.
Warner is a renowned T20I batter with plenty of experience. He is among the team's leading run-scorers in this tournament and full of confidence after hitting a half-ton against Oman and 39 versus England. Anticipate another big knock from Warner.
Stoinis is more known for his batting, but don't underestimate his bowling. He took three wickets against Oman and collected the key dismissal of Will Jacks against England recently. Anticipate more from him.
Trumpelmann is bowling with threatening pace and accuracy. His four-for against Oman was genuinely impressive. He is in a promising position to succeed again.
Erasmus is Namibia's leading run-scorer in the 2024 T20 World Cup. He is more than capable of succeeding against strong bowling attacks. Back him to do well against the Australians.
