NAM vs CAN Match Prediction & Analysis After Tuesday’s game was abandoned without a ball bowled, there were fears of rain playing havoc with the schedule once again on Wednesday but they proved unfounded as Namibia and Canada put on one of the all-time great T20Is, albeit in a 15-over aside match. No pressure on both sides ahead of this game then but with the series nicely poised as Namibia lead 1-0 with three to play, Friday’s third T20I could well be a classic contest. Namibia got over the line with three wickets remaining after scampering two balls from the final ball of Wednesday’s fixture to secure the win. But it looked as though Canada would end up as winners two balls earlier when the hosts were on 138/7 in pursuit of 146. TEAMS PREVIEW Namibia Preview Although Namibia won Wednesday’s second T20I, they will still be looking to improve as they target a 2-0 lead in the series going into the weekend. The victory was setup by their new-ball bowlers, JJ Smit and Ruben Trumpelmann who between them took seven of the eight Canada wicket on Wednesday and we expect the pair to be key in this contest again. The spin of captain Gerhard Erasmus is always threatening at international level and he will get some turn and bounce from this pitch in Windhoek once again. T20I matches can be won by useful contributions from multiple batters and that was the case in the second game of the series. The key to Namibia’s victory were the attacking approaches of Nikolaas Davin, Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton and JJ Smit so we predict they will look to replicate that on Friday. Canada Preview There is every chance that Canada will arrive at the ground on Friday still scratching their heads over how they were able to let victory turn into defeat in Wednesday’s match. The team produced some strong batting and bowling displays but ultimately they were unable to get over the line. As a result, we predict the team management will do a lot of work on focusing on the big moments in this match. There is plenty of talent with bat and ball in the Canada squad, they just need to manage the important times better. Weather Conditions The forecast has certainly been consistent in Windhoek so far this week and it looks like being another overcast afternoon with a threat of rain on Friday. But just as we saw on Wednesday, there should be enough breaks in the cloud to allow for a game of some sort! NAM vs CAN Pitch Report This pitch is one which always keeps the bowlers interested and with the conditions also assisting the fielding sides, we can expect batters to be forced to be slightly more attacking than they normally might opt for. A par score is likely to be no higher than 170-180. Toss: To Bowl Namibia showed that batting second was the route to victory on Wednesday and they were able to time their chase to perfection. For that reason, we predict that both teams will select to bowl first if they win the toss.
