In the 24th match of the T20 World Cup 2024, a thrilling game is expected at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua on Wednesday. The match will see Namibia and Australia clash.
The Australian team has registered a thumping win against arch-rivals England in Barbados. They have scored a historic score in the current edition of this important tournament, becoming the first team to score 200 or more. They scored 201/7 in their first match and then restricted England to 165/6.
Meanwhile, Namibia won their first match against Oman in the Super Over, but they could not carry forward their victory. They will now face Australia after facing defeat against Scotland in their next match.
This will be the first face-off between Australia and Namibia in T20 International cricket. They have faced each other only once in international cricket and that was in the 2003 ODI World Cup. Australia won that match by 256 runs in Potchefstroom.
So far 14 T20 matches have been played at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. Nine matches have been won by the teams batting first, while only five matches have been won by the teams chasing the target. In view of the condition of the pitch, teams will have to make good use of the powerplay and score as many runs as possible. It will not be easy to score runs in the last phase of the innings as the ball will become soft and the pitch can also slow down.
AUS VS NAM: Expert Opinion & Match Pediction
Today’s match can be very interesting from the point of view of the game. Australia’s team has special experience and both their batting and bowling are strong. However, the Namibia team has also improved its performance ability in the last some time.
The condition of the pitch and the weather conditions can be very important. If it rains in the match, the bowlers can get help and the condition of the pitch can also change.
If the match is completed using the DLS method, Australia may have a great chance of winning. With most of their players having maximum experience and skill, I would also predict Australia to win.
But anything can happen in cricket, and it won’t be a surprise if Namibia puts up a good performance and upsets Australia.
