Namibia is in the cricket for a while now. The team has participated in an ODI World Cup. So, the Namibian team is not a new one like PNG. They have got enough experience as they are here for a while. Namibia team for the ICC T20 World Cup has some experienced players. So, we can expect that the team will perform well at this big stage.
Namibia Is In Group B
Namibia is placed in Group A. The other teams of the Group A are; Sri Lanka, Netherlands and Ireland. This is he toughest group of the two. Qualifying from this group will be a challenging task. Sri Lanka has a great chance to reach Super 12s. The remaining teams will fight that 2nd spot looking at the Sri Lanka’s experience.
| TEAM 1 | TEAM 2 | DATE | VENUE | GROUP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Namibia | Sri Lanka | 18-10-21 | Abu Dhabi | B |
| Namibia | Netherlands | 20-10-21 | Abu Dahbi | B |
| Namibia | Ireland | 22-10-21 | Oman | B |
Another essential thing that will boost the confidence of the Namibian cricket team is the joining of Former South Africa allrounder David Wiese. He played his first T20 World Cup for South Africa. But this time, after five years of the gap, he wishes to play his second T20 World Cup but for a different team. The enclosure of David Wiese will strengthen the side.
Cricket Namibia CEO Johan Muller confirmed that Wiese has made himself available. Though the squad is not officially announced for the coming World Cup 2021.
Namibia has never qualified for T20 World Cup in the last six editions. So a big moment for the team to prove its point. A perfect situation for David Wiese, who will make his debut for the Namibian team. The whole team will be enjoying his presence and experience as he is one explosive shorter format player who has faced so many bowlers and batters throughout his T20 league career.
