On Thursday night, Match 10 of the 2022 T20 World Cup will feature Namibia vs. UAE. Tuesday’s match saw Namibia lose to Netherlands by five wickets after defeating Sri Lanka in their initial match. UAE has participated in two games so far and has lost both. The match gets underway at Kardinia Park in Geelong at 19:00 local time.
After beating Sri Lanka, Namibia was feeling confident, but the Netherlands on Tuesday dragged them back to reality. They should, however, have more than enough talent to upset UAE.
In their first encounter, UAE came close to defeating the Netherlands, but in their second match, they were easily defeated by Sri Lanka. If UAE is to defeat Namibia, a strong showing with both bat and ball will be necessary.

Prior to their encounter against Sri Lanka in the T20 World Cup 2022, the UAE XI’s top order batter Aryan Lakra took fast bowler Zawar Farid’s position. Despite the fact that Lakra only managed one run from three balls, we anticipate that he will remain in the lineup for this match against Nambia.
