Damn, I feel unfortunate for India. They played well against Afghanistan and Scotland but got eliminated when New Zealand beat Afghanistan and booked themselves a spot in the semis against England. On the other hand, Namibia is already eliminated. So, now India will only play to entertain the fans and try their best to win so Kohli can step down as T20 Captain on a high. Anyways, let’s start the post by looking at the probable 11 for both teams.
Probable 11 For Team India:
- KL Rahul
- Rohit Sharma
- Virat Kohli (C)
- Suryakumar Yadav
- Rishabh Pant (WK)
- Hardik Pandya
- Ravindra Jadeja
- Ravichandran Ashwin
- Varun Chakravarthy
- Jasprit Bumrah
- Mohammad Shami
I haven’t changed India’s playing 11.
Probable 11 For Team Namibia:
- Stephan Baard
- M Van Lingen
- Gerhard Erasmus (C)
- Zane Green (WK)
- David Wiese
- JJ Smit
- JN Loftie-Eaton
- Craig Williams
- Ruben Trumplemann
- Kari Birkenstock
- Bernard Scholtz
The Last Meeting:
In the group stage match, India and Namibia previously Met in the 2003 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup. In that match, India ran through Namibia’s bowling lineup and ripped through their batting lineup. Brilliant centuries from Sachin Tendulkar (152) and Sourav Ganguly (112*) saw them get a massive score of 312. Then India’s bowling line ripped through Namibia’s batting lineup, and they got them all out for 130.
Weather Report:
It Rained in Dubai earlier today. But according to weather reports, there will be a clear sky for the match. Nevertheless, since it rained, I am pretty sure due will be there.
Pitch Report:
This match is happening in Dubai. And it is a bowling pitch, but this time I don’t think the score will be below 120. This is because it has rained in Dubai and there will be dew. I’d recommend that the team that wins the toss should elect to bowl first because then the dew will be a bit more in the second innings than the first Innings.
Kohli’s T20 Captaincy Stats:
Since today is Kohli’s last match as T20 captain, I’d like to look at the stats and see how much he has progressed since his first match as T20 captain. This won’t include RCB stats, and this will consist of the T20 World Cup Matches also.
| Matches As Captain: | 49 |
| Wins As Captain: | 29 |
| Losses As Captain: | 16 |
| Tied Matches As Captain: | 2 |
| No Result Matches: | 2 |
| International T20 Titles Won: | 0 |
Well, those are some brilliant stats. Kohli will be finishing his T20 captaincy with 50 matches as captain. I will update this table after the India VS Namibia match.
Prediction:
India to win this match. This is because this is their last match, and they have nothing to lose, and when India has nothing to lose, they can be a hazardous team. And since this is Captain Kohli’s last match as T2O captain, they’ll for sure try their best to win this, not only for Kohli but also for the fans. Anyways, Good Luck To Both Teams!
