SL vs NAM Dream11 Team – T20 World Cup 2021 | 18 Oct

Namibia is one of the better performing associate nations in the last couple of years, and they even won the UAE Summer T20 Bash 2021 which was played in Dubai just before this tournament could kick off. However, the level of competition increases as we’ve moved into the 2021 ICC T20 World Cup and here, every game will count. Before the main draw, there are qualifiers and this is Match 4 of the qualifiers.

We have two games each day and in the second game of the day, Namibia will be taking Asian giants and former World T20 winners, Sri Lanka. Namibia lost to Scotland and Oman in their warmup games before the tournament began while Sri Lanka won both of theirs, beating Oman and PNG.

Sri Lanka

One of the recent finds in the Sri Lanka squad is pace bowler Chamika Karunaratne who can make opponent batsmen struggle. In the warm ups, he picked 2 wickets and scored 43 runs without being dismissed once, so make sure he reaches your SL vs NAM fantasy team today. Among the newbies, there’s also Charith Asalanka who didn’t do much in the warmup games but he showed in the home series against India, his potential.

In the top order, there’s Avishka Fernando who has been to a major ICC event in the past, scoring well in the 2019 World Cup. Coming into this tournament as well, he has 3 fifties in his last 4 games and this form gets him a place in my SL vs NAM Dream11 team. Kusal Perera may be struggling to return to 100% fitness after suffering a hamstring injury and with the ball, Wanindu Hasaranga is a must have, along with pacer Dushmantha Chameera.

Namibia

This team may play the same eleven as the game against PNG in Dubai. While David Wiese hasn’t been as good as they would’ve expected so far, he got 3 wickets in 2 warmup games and the former South African player can’t be dropped out of anyone’s fantasy teams today. With four consecutive fifties in this format of the game, the 37-year old veteran batsman Craig Williams can’t be left out either, batting at a strike rate of 140+.

We won’t be picking any of the Namibia spinners in our MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) SL vs NAM fantasy team because the Sri Lankans are all good players of spin. Instead, we’ll pick an all-rounder who got a wicket in each of the warmups and scored 41 runs too – JJ Smit. The captain is another good all-round player and that’s why it’s worth picking Gerhard Erasmus too, even though he bowls less these days.
