The 31st Match of the T20 World Cup 2021/22 is scheduled to play Pakistan vs Namibia on Tuesday, 2nd November October 2021 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi.

Pakistan had performed well in this edition of the ICC T20 World Cup as many of us were not expecting this. They beat India, a favorite team in their first match, and then New Zealand, in their second match. Their most recent match against Afghanistan was very interesting. At one stage, they were in a critical situation but the way how Asif Ali played the 19th over was just outstanding where he scored 25 runs with the help of four sixes in the over of Karim Janat. The batting order of Pakistan had been outstanding in this tournament till now.

Namibia had improved its cricket in some previous years. They qualified for the World Cup and then, they also qualified for the Super 12 stage. They beat Scotland in their first match but were beaten by Afghanistan in their most recent match by the margin of 62 runs. The performance of the bowling unit of Namibia was not good in the most recent match where they leaked 160 runs in their 20 overs inning.

Pakistan had never faced Namibia in T20 cricket and this will be the first match between these two teams.

Pakistan is overall a strong team as compared to Pakistan at least on papers. According to our today prediction, Pakistan is the favorite team that will win this match. There are many factors that make Pakistan a favorite team to win this match. Some of the key factors are mentioned as under:

• Pakistan had won all three matches played so far
• The batting order of Pakistan is in superb form
• Shaheen Afridi and Babar Azam are in good form for Pakistan
• The batting order of Namibia is weak when we compare it with Pakistan

Pakistan is full of experienced and young players of the t20 format. The batting order of this team is also strong and some well known hitters of the t20 format are part of the squad of this team, so the winning chances of today’s match for Pakistan have been increased. The equation of who will win today’s cricket match prediction and who will win the cricket match today is mentioned as under.

Pakistan has a 70% chance to win this match
Namibia has a 30% chance to win this match

The toss will play an important role in the decision of all matches of World Cup T20. Having a good total on the board is always a big advantage in this kind of big match. According to our toss prediction, the team that will win the toss may choose to bat first.

The 31st Match of World Cup T20 2021 is going to be held at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 170 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast in Abu Dhabi is predicting some clouds around on match day but the weather forecast does not predict rain. We should be able to have a full uninterrupted match.
