NAM vs SA-E Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's ODD Match - Apr 27, 2021

The first ODD game between Namibia Eagles and South Africa Emerging Players takes place at the Wanderers Cricket Ground in Windhoek on Tuesday.

Namibia showed why they are a highly-rated side on the Associate circuit with two thumping wins over South Africa Emerging Players to seal a T20 series win. With the likes of JJ Smit and Gerhard Erasmus starring for them, Namibia head into the 50-over series with momentum on their side. However, they will need more from their bowling unit against a talented South African side. All eyes will be on JJ Smit, who was the star of the show in the T20 series. He is expected to come up with the goods on Tuesday as well.

However, Namibia will come across a well-oiled South Africa Emerging Players unit that did give Merwe Erasmus and co. a run for their money in the T20 series. Led by Sinethemba Qeshile, the South Africans have a nice balance to their squad and should prove to be a handful yet again. But against an explosive Namibian batting unit, South Africa Emerging Players will start the contest as underdogs. Nevertheless, we should be in for a cracking game of cricket with both sides looking to land the first blow in what promises to be an entertaining series in Windhoek.

Pitch Report

A good batting track awaits the two sides in Windhoek, with scores of over 200 being scored with ease at the venue in the T20 series. However, with this being a 50-over game, the pitch could slow down as the match progresses. The pacers should ideally get the ball to move around early on, keeping the batsmen on their toes. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with anything over 270 being a competitive total at the Wanderers Cricket Ground.
