Preview

Winners take all! Yes, this is how you can define this match as the winner of this fixture will qualify for the super twelve, while the other has to bow out! Thus, the tension and the pressure will be immense on this match and so will be the level of the game.

Both the teams failed to beat the mighty Sri Lankans and won against Netherlands in the group stage. Now, Ireland is much ahead of their rival Namibia. Even though Sri Lanka won pretty easily against them, Ireland can cause some serious damage on Friday. The team is known for making it into the major tournaments and if things fall in line, they surely will. They have two experienced top order batsmen in the form of Paul Stirling and Kevin O’bryan.  Captain Balbirnie, Delany and Curtis Campher did the talking in the first couple of matches and if their top order finds the rhythm, Namibia is going to have a very hard time in the middle. When it comes to bowling, their young pacer, Joshua Little is in the form of his life. He has been phenomenal for quite some time now and he has the ability to destroy Namibia. Every cricket lover will look out to see this young gun!

Namibia will come with a lot of confidence. After losing their match against Sri Lanka, they bounced back and defeated Netherlands in a very good competitive match. The South African born David Weise has been phenomenal for Namibia against Netherlands and scored an unbeaten 66 runs off just 40 balls. Captain Erasmus has also shown some glimpse of what he can do! When it comes to bowling, they can obviously do better. If they bowl well, they can actually go the distance and reach super twelve.
