Namibia will square off against the United Arab Emirates in the 10th match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022. Simonds Stadium in Geelong will host this Group A clash on Thursday.
Namibia created an upset in their opening game of the tournament by beating Sri Lanka. But they failed to carry their winning momentum forward as they lost to the Netherlands by five wickets in their next clash.
Batting first, the Namibian batters struggled as they finished their innings on 121/6. Jan Frylinck was their lone fighter with a score of 43. The bowlers tried hard and took the game to the last over but failed to hold their nerves in the end. They will now have to win their last game to progress to the Super 12s.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE), on the other hand, have struggled so far, losing back-to-back games against the Netherlands and Sri Lanka.
Bowling first, the UAE restricted Sri Lanka to 152 in their most recent encounter. They scalped eight wickets in total, with Karthik Meiyappan picking up a hattrick. The batters faltered in the chase as they were dismissed on 73, losing the contest by 79 runs.
The UAE will now need to win their final group game against Namibia by a big margin and hope other results go their way to be able to qualify for the Super 12s of the T20 World Cup 2022.
