Pre-Match Analysis:
Things are going as per the script for Australia as they completed two wins in a row and are a victory away from securing their place in the Super 8. Batting was exposed in their opening game against Oman where Marcus Stoinis came to the rescue with an unbeaten 67* while David Warner scored a watchful 56 runs. In the end with an organized bowling, they earned a 39-run win. Their performances skyrocketed in the follow-up against England where they piled up 201 for 7 following some aggressive hitting from Travis Head (34), David Warner (39), Mitchell Marsh (35), and Marcus Stoinis (30).
Pat Cummins who was benched against Oman came up with a special bowling display, picking up 2 wickets and lead spinner Adam Zampa provided much-needed breakthroughs by removing well-set Phil Salt and Jos Buttler. Eventually, they restricted the arch-rivals to 165 for 6. Currently, they are positioned 2nd in the Group B standings with 4 points.
Namibia secured a nail-biting win over Oman in the super over to get started their campaign while the lucky win didn’t last long as they got beaten four days later in the hands of Scotland by 5 wickets. They did well to get to the score of 155 for 9 following an excellent half-century from skipper Gerhard Merwe Erasmus (52) but it appeared they were 10 runs short.
With limited bowling resources they did the job well not but enough to win the contest. Bowling is their main strength while batting needs to evolve. They will be now facing Australia who are unbeaten in the tournament. Right now, they are positioned 3rd in the Group B standings with 2 points.
