SL vs NAM T20 World Cup Dream11 Prediction

Ireland

• Sri Lanka won both the warm-up games (against Papua New Guinea and Bangladesh) that they played ahead of the T20 World Cup.
• They also played a series against Oman just before the warmups and tasted success there.
• Avishka Fernando starred with the bat for Sri Lanka as scored 123 runs from 2 warmup matches.

Namibia

• Namibia lost both the warmup matches (against Oman and  Scotland).
• Craig Williams starred with the bat in the warmups wherein he scored 81 from 2 innings.

SL vs NAM Today Match Prediction

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.

SL vs NAM Winning Chances

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.
