Babar Azam-led Pakistan have been a force to reckon with in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021 as they have all but sealed a spot in the semi-finals with three wins on the trot in their first three matches.

Pakistan have played some phenomenal all-round cricket so far in the tournament and have performed well with both the bat and the ball to emerge as favourites for the title.

Pakistan then got the better of Afghanistan by five wickets in their previous encounter to consolidate their top spot on the Group 1 points table and remain unbeaten in the tournament.

The Babar-led side will face Nambia in match no. 31 of the T20 World Cup 2021 on today (November 02).

Namibia have so far played two matches in the Super 12 and the minnow have one win, and one defeat to their name.

They won their opening game against Scotland by four wickets with five balls to spare before going down against Afghanistan by a huge margin of 62 runs in their next game.

Pakistan will start as overwhelming favourites against the minnow but Namibia will be hoping to stage an upset in the T20 World Cup on Tuesday.

This will be the first meeting between the two sides in T20Is.

Pakistan and Namibia have only met once in international cricket before when the Men in Green defeated them by 171 runs in the 2003 ODI World Cup.

Pitch Report

The pitch in Abu Dhabi has been a little difficult to bat on in the ongoing World Cup. Run-making may not be all that easy. The slower bowlers are most likely to play a massive part in the game. Chasing should be the way forward for both teams.

Average first innings score: 128 (8 T20Is in Abu Dhabi in T20 World Cup 2021)

Record of Chasing teams: Won – 6, Lost – 2, Tied – 0

Head-to-head --Pakistan and Namibia are yet to face each other in T20Is.

Probable best batter of the match Mohammad Rizwan (Pakistan)

Probable best bowler of the match -- Shaheen Shah Afridi (Pakistan)

Prediction: A hat-trick of wins would do a world of good to Pakistan's confidence and while the team management might want to rest some key players against Namibia, the Men in Green are the hot favorites to win tonight's contest.

Pakistan to win the match.

The Men in Green are yet to lose a game in the competition, having won all their three matches thus far.
