The Pakistani team, riding on the chariot of victory in the T20 World Cup 2021, will face Namibia today. Both the teams will clash at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi from 7.30 pm. If Pakistan goes to play the fourth match in the Super-12 round, then Namibias team will take the field for the third time. Pakistan have won their last three matches and will now look to beat Namibia to enter the semi-finals. At the same time, Namibia have won one of their last two matches and lost one.

Pakistan and Namibia will clash for the second time

Pakistan and Namibia will face each other in an international match for the second time. The first match between the two was played in the 2003 ODI World Cup. Pakistan had defeated Namibia by 171 runs in that match. Namibia may face a tough challenge considering the momentum Pakistan is in in the current tournament. Namibia beat Scotland by 4 wickets in the first match of the Super-12 round. However, Namibia derailed in the second match and lost to Afghanistan by 62 runs.

Will there be a change in the playing XI of both?

Pakistan has so far defeated teams like India, New Zealand and Afghanistan in the tournament. The Pakistani team will no longer be too worried against Namibia. In such a situation, two changes can be seen in Pakistans playing XI. Pakistan can rest experienced all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez and pacer Hasan Ali and they can be replaced by Haider Ali and Mohammad Nawaz.
