NAM vs IRE: Namibia will take on Ireland in a Group B fixture at Sharjah Cricket Stadium for Match 11 of the T20 World Cup.
Namibia is walking into this encounter with a magnificent 6 wicket win over the Netherlands. Courtesy of Max O’Dowd’s brilliant 56-ball 70, the Netherlands marched to a defending total of 164/4. While chasing, a magnificent 40-ball unbeaten 66 by David Wiese helped Namibia chase the total and win the match by 6 wickets and 6 balls to spare.
On the other hand, Ireland played Sri Lanka in their previous encounter. A magnificent 71 by Wanidu Hasaranga & 61 by Pathum Nissanka helped the Lankans post a great total of 171/7. Joshua Little starred with the ball for Ireland, picking up 4/23. While chasing, Ireland faced one too many difficulties with the bowlers as they got bundled out for a mere 101 and Sri Lanka won the match by 70 runs.
In this upcoming encounter, Namibia look to have been in quite the form, but Ireland still hold the winning advantage over them.

Pitch Report
It hasn’t been a high-scoring venue compared to last year. The spinners have found a lot of success on the surface, and the batsmen have had to work hard to get the value for their runs. The pitch will bake under the sun which could well make the toss very crucial. The team winning the toss could be tempted to bat first.
Weather Report
The temperatures will be hovering between 32-33 degrees. It is expected to be sunny with mild humidity throughout the game.
