Preview:

In a must-win game, Namibia will take on Ireland in the Group A match of the T20 World Cup 2021. The qualification scenario is simple in Group A. Since Sri Lanka are already through to the Super 12 stages, whoever wins this match will advance to the next round. Namibia kept their chances alive with a win over the Netherlands by 6 wickets on Wednesday. David Wiese arrived finally and finished the game in a grand fashion. With one win and a loss, they are at the third spot in the Group A standings with 2 points.

Ireland, on the other hand, had control over Sri Lanka in the initial phases of their previous game. However, a 123-run stand between Pathum Nissanka and Wanindu Hasaranga took the game away from them. As a result, they lost the match by 70 runs. There is still an opportunity for them to make it through to the next round, and all they need to do is to win this match.
