Australia are on a roll with back-to-back wins and will now be up against Namibia at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. The Aussie openers are in great touch and were exceptional against England in their recent win.
Namibia will be facing a huge challenge as they take on the mighty Aussies in this match. They are already struggling with the bat and will be even more dependent on their bowlers.
Jan Frylinck and Gerhard Erasmus in the middle order will be the key batters for Namibia. Australia’s Marcus Stoinis is in great form at number 5 and will be a key finisher to watch out for.
Namibia haven’t got many reliable or in-form batters and they need to bring their A-game against Australia who feature one of the best bowling attacks of the tournament. Pat Cummins and Adam Zampa are among the match-winning bowlers for Australia.

Australia look dangerous at the moment and will pose a tough challenge to Namibia in this game. They outplayed England in the last game at the Kensington Oval, the same venue where Namibia failed with the bat twice.
Travis Head and David Warner added 70 runs for the first wicket in just 30 balls. That set the stage for a big total for Australia. And they could do this against a high-quality bowling attack.
Though we expect some kind of challenge from the Namibian bowlers, we believe Aussies will have the upper hand. Marcus Stoinis has been consistent as a finisher and while Maxwell hasn’t looked his regular self, he will be keen to make a comeback.
Mitchell Marsh and Glenn Maxwell are the big-impact players at 3 and 4 and can turn the game around completely. While both can play at faster strike rates, Marsh also can be the anchor and build partnerships to take the game deep.
Marsh is using Stoinis in the bowling department as well and the latter has delivered so far. With Cummins also in the pace department along with Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc, this is a dream team for Marsh to lead.
Adam Zampa is a consistent wicket-taker with the spin and should be able to put Namibia in trouble with his leg-break bowling.

Namibia is a promising side with some quality players in every department. However, they haven’t been up to the mark in this tournament so far. In their opening game, they struggled to chase down a small target of 110 runs against Oman as the game ended in a tie and Namibia won it in the super-over.
In the very next game at the same venue, they finished with 155 for 9 batting first against Scotland. Erasmus’ 52 off 31 and Zane Green’s 28 off 27 balls were the top two scores in the Namibian innings.
They’ve got Nikolas Davin at the top who’s a promising batter and got off to a good start in the last match but failed to convert into something big. They need a good partnership at the top. They replaced Michael van Lingen with JP Kotze but in vain.
David Wiese has plenty of experience playing in franchise cricket around the world and will be expected to deliver some quality finish alongside JJ Smit in the lower middle order.
At the moment there is no one in good form in this batting lineup. And they will be looking up to their bowlers to give them an advantage in the contest. Jan Frylinck, David Wiese, and Bernard Schotlz are among the key bowlers to watch out for.
The skipper also delivers with the ball and Ruben Trumplemann was a star bowler in the T20 World Cup in UAE a few years ago. They’ve got many options with the ball in this squad.

It is a balanced pitch that offers help to both batters and bowlers. It is likely to slow down as the game progresses. The weather will be partly cloudy with a high of 31 degrees Celsius in Antigua on the match day.

Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua will be hosting the Australia vs Namibia, 24th match of the T20 World Cup 2024. The average 1st innings score here is below 150 runs and only a couple of times has a team crossed the 170-run mark on this ground. We reckon anything around 170-175 will be a highly competitive score in this contest.
In the few international and domestic T20s played on this ground, the team batting second has enjoyed the upper hand. Both teams have a good bowling attack and should be able to find some help from the surface early on. It is not a particularly high-scoring venue and bowling first should be the preferred option.
Australia are far ahead in this contest with a superior squad and in-form players who’ve delivered back-to-back wins including one against a top team like England. Namibia have struggled to post par totals and will be on the back foot as they face the mighty Aussies. Australia will start as clear favorites in our match prediction.
