Namibia vs Netherlands highlights, T20 World Cup 2021: Namibia beat Netherlands by 6 wickets

Pieter Seelaar, the skipper of Netherlands, says that they would have bowled first. Adds that they want to concentrate on the game on hand and not think too much about the last game. Informs that there are two changes.

Gerhard Erasmus, the skipper of Namibia, says they will bowl first and they are looking to put pressure on the opposition. Adds that they came up against a strong side in Sri Lanka in their first game and they would like to correct those things in the middle. Signs off by saying that they have made one change to their side going into this match.

Netherlands (Playing XI) - Max O'Dowd, Stephan Myburgh (In for Ben Cooper), Bas de Leede, Colin Ackermann, Ryan ten Doeschate, Scott Edwards (WK), Roelof van der Merwe, Pieter Seelaar (C), Logan van Beek, Timm van der Gugten (In for Brandon Glover), Fred Klaassen.

TOSS - Both the skippers are out in the middle. Up goes the coin and it lands in favor of Namibia. They will bowl first.

Namibia were blown away by Sri Lanka in the first game and they will certainly need to pull their socks up heading into this game as they cannot afford to lose one more game. They suffered a heavy defeat in their opening game and it certainly did not help their net run rate either. Gerhard Erasmus and his men would be eager to comeback strong and put on a better show against Netherlands.

Netherlands, on the other hand, have a decent side but they were handed a comprehensive defeat in their first game against Ireland. They have some experienced players in the form of Ryan ten Doeschate and Roelof van der Merwe who need to step up in this all-important fixture if they are to stay in the race for Super 12. The men in orange would be looking to bounce back after a disappointing loss against Ireland and not to forget that they would also be keen to win this match comprehensively to better their net run rate. Who will come out victorious in this must-win encounter? We shall find that soon. Stay tuned for toss and further updates. 

Hello and a very warm welcome to game number 7 of group A where Namibia will face Netherlands. It is a critical game for both these teams in order to stay in the race for Super 12 stage as both Namibia and Netherlands lost their opening encounter.
