Namibia vs Jersey Prediction & Betting Tips 2022

Namibia had a disappointing start to the tournament as they lost their first game against the United States of America by 80 runs. They first restricted the opposition to 231/9 as Ben Shikongo and Shaun Fouche picked three wickets each. Ruben Trumpelmann also chipped in with a couple of wickets in the fixture. However, they failed to chase the target posting only a total of 151 as no one except for Shaun Fouche who impressed with the willow.

In the second game against Papua New Guinea, the batting unit posted a massive total of 381/8 but still, the contest went down the wire. Bernard Scholtz picked three wickets for the side while Gerard Erasmus produced an all-rounder performance scoring a century with the bat while picking a couple of wickets in the second innings.

Jersey were up against Canada in their tournament opener and bowled n the first innings. Charles Perchard picked three wickets while Julius Sumerauer contributed with two wickets. The opposition posted a total of 238/8 and the target was not a tough one for Jersey. However, they were skittled out for 207 despite half-centuries from Nick Greenwood and Josh Lawrenson. The duo lacked support from the other end but they would want the scenario to change in the match against Namibia.

Namibia vs Jersey Match Toss Prediction

Teams winning the toss have opted to field first on three occasions while they opted to bat first out of the last four matches played on the venue. However, the results were in contrast to the teams’ choices with teams batting first winning three games. Also, the surface has favoured the side batting first in the 12 ODIs. Seven fixtures were won by the batting sides while the chasing team won the battle on four occasions.

Weather Report

According to the worldweatheronline.com, there are no chances of rain interference and so both teams will have to sweat it out for a complete 100 overs. Also, the playing conditions are going to be warm with the temperature hovering around 30 degrees celsius and suffering a fall as the evening progresses. Thus, the spectators would be able to see a full-length contest between the two teams.

Predicted Playing XI

NAM vs JER Betting Odds

Namibia to win

Namibia are coming into the contest after registering a win over PNG in a high-scoring thriller and so they will be riding high on confidence. With a high possibility of Namibia batters dominating Jersey bowlers, the team is likely to win the contest.

NAM vs JER Top Team Batsmen

Gerhard Erasmus to be Namibia’s top batter

The Namibian skipper is the most consistent batter from the team amassing 1461 runs from 37 ODI innings with an average of 44.27 including two centuries. Also, he played a knock of 125 runs against Papua New Guinea in the last match and so his form also makes Erasmus to be a strong contender to be the top team.

Nick Greenwood to be Jersey’s top batter

Greenwood was impressive in the team’s opening fixture with a knock of 59 runs. Also has scored 868 runs from 16 List A innings with an average of 54.25 including three centuries. The team will bank on him to emerge as the top batter for his team and play a crucial role with the willow.

NAM vs JER Top Team Bowlers

Ben Shikongo to be Namibia’s top bowler

Shikongo was impressive in Namibia’s first game taking three wickets for 59 runs in his spell. In the second game, he picked a single wicket from five overs. Overall, the right-arm pacer has 12 wickets from 11 innings and plays a crucial role for the side. Thus, Shikongo is likely to be the team’s top bowler in the fixture.

Charles Perchardto be Jersey’s top bowler

Charles Perchard was the highest wicket-taker for the team with three scalps in their previous encounter against Canada. Also, he has picked 17 List A wickets from 16 matches with an economy of 4.19 and a strike rate of 26.88.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Namibia

Although, Namibia have suffered defeats in four matches out of their last five ODIs, they pulled off a victory against UAE who are a more strong unit than Jersey. Also, Namibia have some quality bowlers like Ruben Trumpelmann who makes the bowling unit fearsome for other oppositions.
