Betting Tips

Gerhard Erasmus to be the top batsman for Namibia

4.75

Gerhard Erasmus is Namibia’s best batsman in this tournament. He has scored 101 runs at an average of 33.66 and has scored at least 36 runs in each of his last 2 innings. Looking at his fine form, it is worth risking a bet on him.

Total runs in the highest scoring over of the match

1.90

England’s batting prowess was on full display in their latest fixture. The openers, particularly Jos Buttler are in fine touch. As England once again faces a mediocre bowling unit, there is likely to be at least one high-scoring over in this match.

England will be looking to keep its qualification hopes alive as it faces Namibia in a must-win encounter on Saturday.

The match will be played at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua.

This is the first time that both teams will be facing each other in a T20 international.

NAM vs ENG Team Previews

Namibia

With just two points in 3 games, Namibia has already been knocked out of the tournament. However, they will still look to exit on a high by defeating a heavyweight of this group.

Gerhard Erasmus has led his team from the front. He is the highest run-getter for the team with 101 runs, and has also picked up 4 wickets. The openers, Nico Davin and Michael van Lingen have struggled to give the team a good start throughout the tournament.

As a result, there will be added pressure on the likes of David Weise, Jan Frylinck, and Zane Green to score runs.

Coming to the bowling, barring the solitary good spells by Weise and Ruben Trumpelmann, there isn’t much to write about. The inexperienced bowling line-up is likely to struggle against England. 

Namibia Expected Playing 11

  • Nikolaas Davin
  • Michael Van Lingen
  • Jan Frylinck, Jean-Pierre Kotze
  • Gerhard Erasmus
  • Jonathan Smit
  • David Wiese
  • Zane Green
  • Ruben Trumpelmann
  • Bernard Scholtz
  • Jack Brassell

England

After a rough start to their campaign, the defending champions managed to register their first win of the tournament on Thursday by defeating Oman. While they will have to win this match to keep their hopes alive, their promotion will also depend on the result of Scotland’s match against Australia.

Jos Buttler was in belligerent form in the last match as he smashed 24 runs from just 8 deliveries. His opening partnership with Phil Salt will hold the key for England. One cause of concern for the team is the form of its middle-order batsmen, particularly Harry Brook and Johnny Bairstow.

They are going through a prolonged rough patch and that has cost the team. Also, despite having two all-rounders in the form of Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone, England has a long tail.

Talking about the bowling, Mark Wood and Jofra Archer picked up 3 wickets each in the last match, but it was Adil Rashid who returned as the top bowler with 4 wickets.

The emphatic win will surely boost the team’s confidence ahead of this key fixture. 

England Expected Playing 11

  • Philip Salt
  • Jos Buttler
  • Jonny Bairstow
  • Harry Brook
  • Moeen Ali
  • Liam Livingstone
  • Sam Curran
  • Chris Jordan
  • Jofra Archer
  • Adil Rashid
  • Reece Topley

NAM vs ENG Toss Prediction

The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first. 

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch at North Sound is firm and flat, with even bounce. The quicker bowlers will enjoy bowling here and the spinners will get some turn as the pitch dries out. That said, there are plenty of opportunities for the batsmen to score runs and we can expect a good contest between the bat and the ball.

A score of around 160 can be considered a par score. The weather is likely to be warm and humid with a temperature of around 30 degrees. 

NAM vs ENG Betting Tips

We are putting our money on England. Even though there isn’t much return on your wager, betting against the defending champions doesn’t make much sense.

Bet on England to win.
