Namibia will relish the opportunity of playing an international match against South Africa when they take on them in the only T20I on Saturday (October 11).
The responsibility will be on the openers to get the team off to a good start in the first six overs, i.e,. The power play while batting first or while chasing.
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Louren Steenkamp, Gerhard Erasmus (c), Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton (wk), Jan Balt, JJ Smit
The opening duo will be followed by a middle order that the team heavily relies upon because of the experience that it possesses, and would want them to make a significant contribution for Namibia to increase their chances of winning.
Another reason why Namibia has eir hopes pinned on the middle order batters highly is because of the depth or the lack of it in the batting lineup.
If the top six batters of Namibia can convert the start that they get into a meaningful score, then Namibia will be able to post 170-180 runs while batting first, which is expected to be a good score.
The Namibian team would look up to experienced bowlers like JJ Smit and Ruben Trumpelmann to challenge the opposition batters and restrict them from scoring freely by picking up wickets at regular intervals.
If Namibia can restrict the opposition to a score of 150-160 while bowling first, they would feel that they have a good chance of getting the better of South Africa in the team's first outing against them in international cricket.
It will have to be a collective effort from the bowlers of Namibia, who will be up against a strong South African batting order.
