Namibia vs Netherlands prediction

Namibia and Netherlands find themselves in a group with India and Pakistan, so a positive result here will be crucial for both as they each look to reach the next round. Only Namibia are yet to play so far in Group A with Netherlands having already lost to Pakistan by three wickets in what was a tight encounter.

Netherlands have previous when it comes to T20 World Cup shocks, but this is a rare fixture in which they are likely to enter as favourites. Their bowling attack put in a really good effort against Pakistan and will need to do so again on what is likely to be a very good batting surface at Arun Jaitley Stadium. On a ground like this, backing a high-scoring match may prove the shrewd move.

Namibia vs Netherlands tip: Over 321.5 match runs
