Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

Namibia and Singapore both will play their last league match on Saturday. Singapore have been more or less ruled out of the contention in the top three. They have won only a couple of matches out of five so far and will need a huge win to stand any chance.

However, Namibia still have a great chance to make it to the top three of the Group A. They are on a rampage after losing their first two games. Namibia first defeated Scotland and then breezed past Bermuda and Kenya to stay alive in the ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier 2019. They will have to beat Singapore in order to qualify though and it is expected to be a thrilling encounter.

Weather Report

There will be some respite for the players from the heat as this match will be played under the lights. The temperature will hover around 30 and 31 Degrees Celsius while there is no rain in the forecast according to AccuWeather.

Pitch Report

The pitch behaved very well on the first day of the action at the Dubai International stadium. However, the batsmen could enjoy only in the first innings as the surface slowed down and the ball stayed low in the second innings. The trend is expected to continue on Saturday. The team winning the toss should bat first again.
