Namibia will lock horns with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the 10th ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 match at the Simonds Stadium in Geelong on Thursday, October 20. With two crucial points up for grabs, both teams will play out of their skins.
Namibia are firmly in the race to progress to the Super 12 stage with one win in two matches. While they decimated Sri Lanka in their opening clash, the Namibians went down against the Netherlands. They will look to fire in unison and bet the UAE by a handsome margin to keep themselves in the hunt for a Super 12 place.
UAE, on the other hand, have played well in clusters but failed to grab the clutch moments. They will hope to salvage some pride and spoil Namibia’s party in their last Round 1 game.
