Namibia will face Ireland in a must-win match in Group A of the T20 World Cup 2021. In Group A, the qualification scenario is straightforward. Because Sri Lanka has already qualified for the Super 12, the winner of this match will proceed to the next round. Namibia kept their Super 12 hopes alive with a six-wicket victory over the Netherlands on Wednesday. David Wiese finally arrived and completed the game magnificently. They are in 3rd place in Group A with two points after one win and one loss.
On the other hand, Ireland had complete control over Sri Lanka in the early stages of the preceding game. Pathum Nissanka and Wanindu Hasaranga put on a 123-run stand to take the game away from them. As a result, they were defeated by 70 runs in the match. They still have a chance to go to the next round, and all they have to do now is win this match.
Weather
The weather in Abu Dhabi will be clear and a high of 33 degrees during the match.
Pitch
The surface in Sharjah has entirely transformed into a bowling-friendly surface. The spinners are gaining more grip, making it difficult to catch up with them. It is preferable to bat first.
