Match Details:
Date: October 18, 2021
Time: 07:30 PM (IST)
Venue: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi
Live Streaming: Disney+ Hotstar
TV: Star Sports Network
Pitch and Weather Conditions:
The weather conditions in Abu Dhabi are going to be good for cricket as temperatures become more comfortable in UAE. The pitch is going to be a bit challenging. It offers up runs with the new ball but becomes much more difficult to score as the ball becomes older. Sri Lanka’s players should be able to use the slowness of the wicket to their advantage much more than Namibia’s players.
Team Preview:
Sri Lanka ( SL):
Sri Lanka has played a couple of T20 matches against Oman before starting its T20 World Cup 2021 campaign and that should help it get in the groove of things. However, the pitch at Abu Dhabi is likely to be a lot different than what they found in Oman.
The Sri Lankan spinners will be key on this surface and that is an area where it should have a big advantage over Namibia. Players like Akila Dananjaya and Wanindu Hasaranga are going to be the key. In fact, we think betting on Hasaranga in the Top Bowler Sri Lanka betting market is not a bad idea at all.
Among the batsmen, Avishka Fernando has been in terrific touch while Dasun Shanaka has also done well. Kusal Perera, Dinesh Chandimal, and possibly Bhanika Rajapaksa should find a place in the playing eleven as well.
Sri Lanka should not take Namibia for granted but it still should have enough in the tank to be able to win quite comfortably.
Likely XI: Avishka Fernando, Kusal Perera(w), Dinesh Chandimal, Dhananjaya de Silva, Dasun Shanaka(c), Charith Asalanka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Chamika Karunaratne, Akila Dananjaya, Dushmantha Chameera, Bhanuka Rajapaksa

Namibia (NAM):
Namibia has won a place in the T20 World Cup 2021 by its own merit and cannot be underestimated. Of course, the most famous player in this lineup is David Wiese (who plays T20 cricket around the world and has represented South Africa in the past) but there are other players to watch out for as well.
Stephan Baard, Gerhard Erasmus, and Craig WIlliams should all find a place in the batting lineup. JJ Smit, Ben Shikongo, and David Wiese will lead the bowling attack.
Namibia is not going to be a pushover and will test the Sri Lankans but it will struggle because of a lack of depth and inexperience playing cricket at the highest level.
Likely XI: Stephan Baard, Zane Green(w), Craig Williams, Gerhard Erasmus(c), David Wiese, JJ Smit, Ben Shikongo, Michau du Preez, Bernard Scholtz, Michael van Lingen
