ZIM vs NAM Team Previews

Zimbabwe

Zimbabweans recorded a resounding win in the first contest of the T20I series against Namibia by 33 runs. They have now won two out of their last five games in this format. They have also succeeded in breaking the Namibian string of victories against them.

In the first game, the Zimbabwe batters put together a massive score of 211 runs for the loss of three wickets from their quota of twenty overs. Then their bowlers delivered an effective bowling performance, restricting the Namibians to 178 runs for the loss of seven wickets.

Brian Bennett, who hit a splendid 94 in the first contest, will once again be spearheading the Zim batting effort in this contest. He has scored 344 runs from his last ten games with a strike rate of 131.8. The Zimbabwe skipper Sikandar Raza has also scored 221 runs from his last ten games with an average of 27.63 and a strike rate of 119.45.

Richard Ngarava will spearhead the Zimbabwe bowling attack. He has picked up 13 wickets from his last nine contests with a strike rate of 14.61. The skipper, Raza, has also done well to collect nine victims in his previous nine contests with a strike rate of 21.11.

Namibia

A lot was expected from the Namibians in the first contest of the series. However, they were never really in contention to win the encounter after Zimbabwe amassed 211 runs from their twenty overs.

They will be smarting after the defeat and will be keen to keep their hopes of winning the series alive by winning the second contest. This is the first loss for Namibia in their last five games. However, all their prior wins came against lowly ranked teams such as Canada.

Gerhard Erasmus will lead the Namibian batting effort in this contest. The Namibian skipper has scored 205 runs from his last ten outings with an average of 29.29 and a strike rate of 123.49. The wicketkeeper-batter Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton has also scored 198 runs from his last six outings for Namibia with an average of 39.6 and a terrific strike rate of 173.68.

The quick Ruben Trumpelmann will lead the Namibian bowling attack. He has picked up ten scalps from his last six contests with a top strike rate of 10.2. JJ Smit has also done well to pick up seven wickets in his previous three contests with a strike rate of 9.42.

ZIM vs NAM Toss Prediction

The Queens Sports Club venue has seen 14 T20I games played on it in the last few years. The teams chasing a target have won seven of them, while the teams batting first tasted success also on seven occasions. The skipper winning the coin flip might decide to bat first, as the first game of the series was won by the side batting first.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

This ground is renowned for offering batting-friendly conditions. You can expect a consistent pace and bounce from the track. This, together with smaller boundaries, makes it a great place to score big runs. The pitch is unlikely to crack at any stage of the contest. The weather for this contest will be sunny, and the temperature will remain close to 32 degrees.

ZIM vs NAM: Who Will Win?

Although Namibians have a good recent record in T20I games, Zimbabwe pretty much smashed them in the first fixture of the series. It will take a monumental effort on the part of the Namibians to recover and pull one across the Zim in this encounter. Therefore, we reckon Zimbabwe will win this contest and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in this series.

Bet on Zimbabwe to win.

ZIM vs NAM win percentage stands at 75% in favor of ZIM.
