Preview:

Namibia will go one-on-one against the Netherlands in the Group A match of the T20 World Cup 2021. Both Namibia and Netherlands are in a spot of bother at the moment, having lost their respective opening matches. Namibia had a terrible outing against Sri Lanka, where they lost the match by 7 wickets with 39 balls still left in the match. They were bowled out inside 20 overs and couldn’t do much against the quality Sri Lankan bowling unit.

The Netherlands couldn’t live up to expectations against Ireland and lost the match by 7 wickets. Max O’Dowd was the lone warrior with the bat and he didn’t get much support from the other end, which got them bundled out for 106 runs. Both sides are waiting for their first win in this tournament and we can expect an equal contest between them.

Top Picks for NAM vs NED Dream11 Match:

Top Picks ­– Batters

Craig Williams is in great knick with the bat. He was the top scorer for Namibia in the last match against Sri Lanka, where he scored 29 runs from 36 balls. It’s hard to stop him once he starts get going.

Max O’Dowd was the standout performer with the bat for the Netherlands against Ireland. He scored vital 51 runs from 47 deliveries, which includes 7 fours.

Top Picks ­– All-Rounders

JJ Smit is a reliable all-rounder who can smack the ball out of the park and is even a handy bowler too. He remained not out on 12* runs from 15 balls in the last game against Sri Lanka and picked up a wicket as well.

Pieter Seelaar made handy contributions with both bat and ball against Ireland. Netherlands’ skipper scored 21 runs and picked up a wicket as well.

Top Picks ­– Bowlers

Bernard Scholtz was economical with the ball in the last game against Sri Lanka, where he conceded just 16 runs in his 3 overs. The left-arm spinner picked up the wicket of Pathum Nissanka.

Fred Klaassen is the frontline seamer for the Netherlands. He bowls at a good pace and will be really effective with new cherry. He picked up one wicket against Ireland at an economy of 6.

Top Picks ­– Wicketkeepers

Zane Green should be the first-choice wicket-keeping option for your fantasy teams. He got out for just 8 runs in the last match against Sri Lanka, but will be hopeful of delivering in this match.
