Preview:

Namibia will face Netherlands in the Group A contest of the T20 World Cup 2022 on Tuesday. With a complete all-round display, Namibia stunned Asia Cup champions Sri Lanka in their opening fixture by 55 runs. Namibia who made their T20 World Cup debut last year are on their way to their 2nd successive qualification. At one point they were reeling at 93 for 6 then Jan Frylinck and JJ Smit’s 70 run-stand turned out to be a match-winning one. Later bowlers got into the act and bowled Lankans out for 108 runs. They held on to some spectacular catches which played a pivotal role in the success as well. They have got depth in their batting and variety in their bowling that makes them a formidable side.

Netherlands on the other hand too made a winning start to their World Cup campaign with a thrilling 3 wickets win over UAE. Massive credit for their bowlers as they restricted the opposition to a paltry 111 runs and later handy contributions down the order from Scott Edwards and Tim Pringle steered them home with a ball left. They still lack experience with the bat and need to sort out their woes as quickly as possible. Bas de Leede and experienced Colin Ackermann are the players to watch out for.

The surface is slightly on the slower side and the batters need to play smartly in order to put a competitive total on the board. Varying the pace is the key mantra for the bowlers here.
