Pakistan will be keen on beating debutants Namibia in their Super 12 group 2 encounter of the ICC men’s T20 World Cup on November 2. The match will be played in Abu Dhabi. Pakistan started their world cup campaign with an emphatic 10-wicket win over India. They followed it up with handsome victories against New Zealand and Afghanistan.
As for Namibia, they are having a fairytale run in the World Cup. This will be the first time the minnows will be up against a top international side. In their last match, they lost to Afghanistan by a big margin.
Although the Pakistan batting unit has been top-notch, they ran into roadblocks in their tie against Afghanistan and New Zealand.
As far as the bowling is concerned, the pace department is covered by Shaheen Afridi and Hasan Ali, while the spin department has Imad Wasim and Shadab Khan.
In the bowling department, Pakistan will be looking to ensure that they don’t allow Namibia to come back in the game after taking early wickets, something they were guilty of in the Afghanistan clash.
Namibia, who were blown away by Afghanistan on Sunday, will be looking to compete against a top side.
The debutants had no answer to Afghanistan bowlers, especially the pacers, on Sunday afternoon. Despite main spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman not playing due to injury, Namibians found the bowling attack too hot to handle.
They have already won a lot of hearts by making the Super 12s in their maiden appearance but captain Gerhald Erasmus has made it clear that they are looking to create an upset.
“We are aware of the challenges. We need to make use of this level. This is a stepping stone for the future,” said Erasmus.
