T20 World Cup 2021: Match Prediction for the game between Sri Lanka and Namibia

Sri Lanka and Namibia will take on each other at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Monday in Group A fixture of the T20 World Cup. Sri Lanka is the 2014 T20 World Cup champion but they will need to go through the qualifying process to make it to the Super 12s. Their cricket has taken a downward slope since then and they will look to bring their best.

We have got Match Prediction on the basis of current form, head-to-head, stats, and players to watch out for in the upcoming match.

Current form for Sri Lanka: L W W W W

Sri Lanka played two matches against Oman to get used to the UAE conditions, which would have certainly helped their players in getting acclimatized to the conditions. The Island nation won both of those matches and also won their warm-up matches against Bangladesh and Papua New Guinea, which would have certainly given them confidence.

Current form for Namibia: L L W W W

Namibia will need to bring their best to the table if they are to challenge Sri Lanka.
