World T20 Series 2021

PAK vs NAM, Super 12, Match 27

Preview

Well, the Pakistan cricket team is in a dream run while Namibia has managed to turn some eyes already. Even though Afghanistan have shattered them in the previous match, still they have given fans plenty of joy and the nation should be proud of themselves for the way they played. Beating an in-form Pakistan might just be too much but remember how Ireland shocked the entire world and defeated England in the 2011 World Series? Nothing is really impossible in cricket after all.

The Pakistan team for obvious reasons will not think about what Ireland did against England. They have been one of the unbeaten teams of the tournament and played like champions in all their matches. Batting, bowling, fielding - they have excelled in all three departments. The finishing ability could have been a question but Asif Ali put that to bed. It will be interesting to see whether the captain rotates the team and gives others a chance or to go with the winning formula. Not that it's very much required but Pakistan may just want to finish it quickly and send a strong statement to others that they are ready for the semi-finals. 

Namibia, on the other hand, will be desperate to win this match. Beating a test playing nation in a world championship is something that their boys might have dreamt of! The reality however is quite different. They failed to put up a good show against Afghanistan. They were not a match and henceforth, they were bamboozled. Against Pakistan, the chances are more. David Weise and captain Erasmus will be responsible to do the job of keeping their batting order stable while Ruben Trumpelmann would look to destroy their top order. Even after all this, Namibia will have to climb a mountain in order to beat them.
