The 4th Match of the T20 World Cup 2021 is scheduled to play SL vs NAM on Monday, 18th October 2021 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi.

Sri Lanka had played a series of two T20 matches against Oman. They won the series but Oman give them a tough time. The conditions in UAE are different than in Oman. The batting order of Sri Lanka is strong and experienced when we compare it with Namibia. Akila Dananjaya and Wanindu Hasaranga will play a key role in this match.

Namibia is going to take place in World Cup for the first time in their cricketing history. They had beaten the strong teams to qualify for this big event of cricket and we can’t underestimate this team. David Wiese is the key player of this team who had played a lot of cricket in different cricket leagues. He was the best player in the previous edition of the Pakistan Super League.

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

• Sri Lanka is a much-experiaced team when we compare it with Namibia
• The batting order of Sri Lanka is strong and experienced
• The bowling unit of Namibia is also strong
• Both teams have a strong batting order in the side at least on papers

Sri Lanka 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 Sri Lanka 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.

Sri Lanka 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 these kinds of big matches. According to our toss prediction, the team that will win the toss may choose to bat first.

The 4th Match match of World Cup T20 2020-21 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 180 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.
