The outcome of this game doesn’t really matter for either party – New Zealand’s win over Afghanistan sees them through to the semifinals with Pakistan. At this point, India and Namibia are essentially playing for pride and glory.
There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that the Men in Blue are by far the stronger side – let’s back them in our India vs Namibia betting tips and predictions.
India’s T20 World Cup campaign is over and Virat Kohli’s brilliant spell as a captain will come to an end without this elusive mace.
Despite a strong showing in the warm-up matches, a couple of big losses to Pakistan and New Zealand completely altered their trajectory. The two sides played some brilliant cricket to keep India out of contention, making it impossible for them to reach the semis.
Even though India did win against lower-ranked cricketing nations of Afghanistan and Scotland, the fact still remains that Kohli’s men were absolutely outdone in the games that mattered.
All that is left for them is to play the 15th-ranked Namibia and hope for a big win to end the tournament on a high note.
As an Associate Member of the ICC, Namibia will be thrilled to make it this far in the World Cup. They started in the qualifiers and superbly navigated their way to the Super 12.
Even though they have picked up just one win in Group 2, the Eagles will be pleased with the opportunity of playing cricket against the full-member nations. Any and every experience matters here as the side looks to bolster their roster and prepare for the next batch of cricketing action.
Of course, the chances of them toppling mighty India are incredibly low – but the fact that they are getting to share the field with them is an achievement in itself.
Namibia can also tap into their arsenal of left-handed seamers – something that their upcoming opponents have had problems with in the past. All in all, we can expect a solid fight from them.
Namibia’s Likely XI
Stephan Baard, Craig Williams, Gerhard Erasmus, David Wiese, JJ Smit, Zane Green, Michael van Lingen, Karl Birkenstock, Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, Ruben Trumpelmann, Bernard Scholtz
Venue & conditions
We are in Dubai for this match where the pitch is good for batting and bowling. As usual, chasing is the norm here and being an evening match, dew will play a role in the second innings.
There is not a whole lot to say here. At odds of 1.01, it may not even be worth betting on team India. Some may even argue that betting on Namibia just for the kicks is the better way to go.
India are light years ahead in terms of squad strength and experience than their Namibian counterparts. They are obviously starting this match as the heavy favourites and will look to end the Virat Kohli-Ravi Shastri era with a big win.
On a side note, this will be India’s 150th T20 international fixture so the Men in Blue will also look to make history on Monday.
