NAM vs UGA Dream11: The second match of the double-header between Namibia and Uganda will be played here at Winhoek. Namibia have a good looking batting order with skipper Erasmus expected to play a crucial hand here. Eaton and Du Preez have played good supporting hands in this series. The bowling lineup showed tremendous response in the last match restricting Uganda to a modest total before rain picked up. Expect them to be at their absolute best.
Uganda though, won’t be unhappy with their performance in the last match. At one point, they seemed to be having the upper hand by picking 4 Namibia wickets in a quick succession. The batting led them down though and they will look to put up a decent score on the board this time. Ronak Patel has been their most assured batsman so far while Riazat Ali Shah has shown some good all-round performance.
