ZIM vs NAM 6th Match Prediction

ZIM vs NAM Team Previews

Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe used eleven different bowlers in its previous warm-up match against Sri Lanka. That should give you an idea of the kind of approach teams take going into these matches. The aim is to win and build some momentum but it is also important to try out players, combinations, and just get a feel of the conditions. 

One of the things that Zimbabwe could try is to give those of its batters a go that have not had too much time in the middle so far. Sikandar Raza and Sean WIlliams, two senior Zimbabwe batters, will want to get some runs under their belts. With Ryan Burl, Craig Ervine, and Wesley Madhevere in the lineup, Zimbabwe has enough batting to be able to get a good score in most games. 

The bowling lineup is weak and can be taken advantage of. Blessing Muzarabani is the only bowler that has some pace but apart from that, it is medium pacers and spinners that do not pose too many difficult questions.

Namibia

It would have been very encouraging for Namibia to have won without David Wiese getting to bat at all. He is easily their best batter and someone who can come in and change the game with his big hits. To win a match and still have someone like Wiese unused is a good sign. 

Van Lingen, Erasmus, Frylinck, and Smit all scored runs. One of them would have liked to carry on but the intent to score quickly was certainly there. 

The bowlers also did quite well to restrict the Ireland batters. Trumplemann, Smit, Wiese, and Frylinck all bowled superbly. Finding consistency is going to be a challenge for Namibia but we do not think they should be written off in this match.
