Namibia W vs Uganda W Prediction & Betting Tips 2022
Namibia have been the unbeaten force in the competition so far winning all of the games they played. With the kind of all-round performance Namibia are putting in, they are one of the strong contenders to win the series. The batting duo of Adri van der Merwe and Sune Wittmann have scored 88 and 102 runs respectively for the side being their top batters. In the bowling department, Kayleen Green and Victoria Hamunyela have played a crucial role for the team taking ten and six wickets respectively.
Uganda have gone through a topsy turvy journey in the tournament so far. They started with a 50-run win defeat against UAE but bounced back soon with two successive wins over Hong Kong and UAE. Then, the side lost their fixtures against Namibia and Hong Kong. Coming into the fixture, they will have a monumental task ahead of them to beat a strong opponent and so the batters will have to rise to the occasion and score big. The highest run-scorer for the team has been Prosscovia Alako who has piled up 117 runs from five innings with an average of 23.40 which is a sign of worry for the team. Also, none of the others average more than 20 which highlights the need for batters to deliver against Namibia.
The bowling unit hasn’t been superb but they have done a decent job with three of the bowlers taking six wickets from five matches with an average below 16. Stephani Nampiina has been the most impressive bowled scalping six wickets with a bowling average of 6.50 and an extraordinary strike rate of 7. Concy Aweko and Irene Alumo were the other bowlers who have been providing crucial contributions to the side.
Namibia W vs Uganda W Match Toss Prediction
In the last five matches that have been played in the tournament, all at the same venue, the team batting first has come out on top 80% of the time. Interestingly, it was Uganda who failed to win their game against Hong Kong after posting a sub par total of just 98 runs in the first innings. We believe the team that wins the toss will like to bat first based on the results in the event so far.
Weather Report
According to Worldweatheronline.com, the spectators can expect a full-length fixture as rain will not play a spoilsport in the game. The temperature will also hover around 27 degree Celsius and the skies will be mostly clear with negligible cloud cover for brief hours.
