Oman vs Namibia Betting Tips
Namibia to score low before 1st dismissal
Namibia is a stronger team on paper in comparison to Oman in the 20 over format. However, they have been struggling currently in the batting department. Malan Kruger and Nikolaas Davin opened for the team in those games and posted the scores of 20, 43 & 3 runs before their 1st dismissal. Kruger and Davin average at 23.16 & 29.17 in the format but look out of form currently. Namibia posted 0 before their first dismissal in the only meeting against Oman in the format. Oman have a weak batting line-up as well but boast a pretty decent bowling unit. That said, Namibia will be losing their 1st wicket pretty early in the next game.
