SL vs NAM Dream11 Today Match Prediction: Group A matches will get underway on the 18th of October. In the second match of the day, Sri Lanka will take on the minnows Namibia to ensure a place in the Super 12. Namibia showed great promise in the warmup matches, and this match promises to be an entertaining one.
Ireland
Namibia
Both teams have got enough match practice coming into this tournament. Sri Lanka played 2 warm-up matches against Bangladesh and Papua New Guinea respectively. Namibia on the other hand played 2 warm-up matches against Scotland and Oman respectively. Sri Lanka is a far superior side to Namibia and they should be winning this match at any cost. The fact that they are forced to play the group matches itself is a surprise for anyone who has seen Sri Lankan cricket in the 2000s. This should be a proper one-sided game.
This is a no-brainer. Namibia stands nowhere closer to Sri Lanka in terms of personnel at hand or the talent that they possess. Sri Lanka will have to bottle it in unimaginable ways to give Namibia a chance to upset them. In normal circumstances, this won’t happen and Sri Lanka should be able to win it easily. Even the prominent betting sites are also suggesting the same.
Betway- IRE- 1.66, NED- 2.10
Both teams have tested their bench strength to the fullest in the warm-up matches and have got a fair idea of how each player is performing in the current scenario and conditions. These warm-up matches would have been enough for them to find and field their best possible eleven for the ultimate clash.
Avishka Fernando Dinesh Chandimal Kusal Perera Charith Asalanka Dasun Shanaka (c) Wanindu Hasaranga Dhananjaya de Silva Dushmantha Chameera Chamika Karunaratne Akila Dananjaya Maheesh Theekshana
He was the leading run-scorer in the warmup matches and will be looking to continue that good run in the main tournament as well.
Dushmantha Chameera
He has been in fine form in the warmups and the series held prior to that. He is very much important for Sri Lanka’s chances with the ball.
Stephan Baard Zane Green Craig Williams Gerhard Erasmus (c) David Wiese JJ Smit Jan Frylinck Ruben Trumpelmann Bernard Scholtz Pikky Ya France Karl Birkenstock
Williams was in sublime form in the warmups and is vital for Namibia’s chances if they are to post a good total against the island nation.
He is a T20 legend and his presence will do good for Namibia in this prestigious tournament.
