TEAMS PREVIEW

Namibia Women Preview

Namibia are ready to host the quadrangular series and their first assignment is against Tanzania. This series will surely help them to focus on upcoming events. They recently participated in the ICC T20 World Cup Global Qualifier and lost all four games. Namibia’s batting was their weakest point. 

Namibia lost to USA, PNG, Bangladesh and Ireland in the qualifiers. They fought hard against PNG and USA as they stretched the game to the final over. In their last game, they lost to Ireland by 7 wickets. The hosts would now move on from the poor campaign in the qualifiers. They are at home to impress their fans. Bowling did a slightly better job in the tournament. 

They will now take on Tanzania in the first game of the quadrangular series. They earlier defeated them but also lost games against the same side. Suné Wittmann could be a player to watch out for. She is the leading run-scorer for Namibia in T20 internationals and also have 50-plus wickets. We back her to score above 25 runs in the upcoming game. 

Namibia Women Predicted Playing XI:

Suné Wittmann (c), Yasmeen Khan, Kayleen Green, Wilka Mwatile, Mekelaye Mwatile, Edelle van Zyl, Arrasta Diergaardt, Sylvia Shihepo, Merczerly Gorases (wk), Victoria Hamunyela, Naomi Benjamin

Tanzania Women Preview

Tanzania Women are back in Namibia for the quadrangular series and their first assignment is against the hosts. They enter the contest with a poor campaign in the women’s Emerging Nations Trophy. They didn’t even cross the three-figure mark in any of the last five games. Their lowest score was 46 runs against UAE. 

Tanzania will be eyeing a winning momentum for the series in Namibia. They have defeated Namibia two times out of three. They would eye a winning start as they challenge the hosts. It will be a four-team tournament so each game is gonna be a special one. 

Tanzania’s batting unit is their main concern and it could disturb their momentum. Neema Pius could be a player to watch out for. She is the leading batter and her experience is vital. We back her to score above 25 runs in the upcoming game. Perice Kamunya and Getrude Mushi are also the best bowlers in this side.

Tanzania Women Predicted Playing XI:

Neema Pius (c), Saum Mtae, Fatuma Kibasu, Hudaa Mrisho Omary, Jenipher Gabriel, Agnes Joseph Qwele, Perice Kamunya, Mwanamvua Hamisi, Getrude Mushi, Nasra Hamza Mohamedi, Shufaa Mohamedi (wk)

NAM-W vs TAN-W Pitch Report

The High Performance Oval is a good batting ground and offers good balance. The new ball advantage is key for the pacers. Out of the previous five games on this ground, the first batting average score is 133 runs. The overcast conditions might help pacers. It will be the second game of the day on this pitch.
