Match Details:

The match 33 of the ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier 2019 between Namibia and Kenya will be hosted by Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.

The match starts at 2:10 PM local time (3:40 PM IST) (10:10 AM GMT)

Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

After starting the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier 2019 poorly, Namibia has recollected themselves to stage a stunning comeback. They lost the first couple of matches but then defeated Scotland and Bermuda to stay in the hunt for the qualification. The must-win scenario remains for them as they face Kenya in Dubai on Friday. Namibia has to win both their remaining games including this one to go through.

The story is the same for Kenya. They went down meekly to the Netherlands and Scotland. But they have stormed back into the contest by comfortably defeating Bermuda and Singapore. Even they can’t afford a slip up at this stage of the tournament and it should be a cracker of a contest between the two teams.

Weather report

Like it is for the first game, the forecast for this encounter is also clear. The sun will be out in the afternoon and expect the temperatures to soar even more according to AccuWeather. There is no rain in the forecast either.

The venue will be hosting its first set of matches in the tournament on Friday. There is no idea on how the surface will behave. But it should hold true to its nature. The team winning the toss is expected to bat first as the ball will turn as the game progresses.

Average first innings score: 142 (47 T20Is at the venue)
