Namibia's defeat at the hands of the Netherlands came as a shocker for many considering the team was high on confidence following their win against Sri Lanka in the opener. Next up for the African nation is the United Arab Emirates, a side ruled out of the tournament following two successive losses. The game will be played at the Simonds Stadium in Geelong which has a batting-friendly wicket. The team winning the toss will like to bat first and put up a above-par score. Namibia's batting let them down against the Dutch and with UAE boasting of a good bowling line-up, massive improvements are needed. Opponents UAE has played well in bits and parts but they still lack what it takes to shine at the highest level. Namibia versus UAE will be telecasted on the Star Sports network and streamed on the Hotstar app from 1:30 PM IST.

Jan Frylinck has top-scored for Namibia in both of their World Cup games so far and all eyes will be on him when the team bats against UAE. Michael van Lingen and Stephan Baard are other consistent performers who give the side the edge. The team has bowled well so far in the campaign and does not give runs easily. JJ Smit is the go-to bowler for the skipper due to his wicket-taking abilities and UAE will need to play him with caution.
UAE has issues with its batting unit and their abject surrender against Sri Lanka in pursuit of 153 bears testimony to this fact. Just three of the batters could get to double figures as the side bundled out for 73. They do not seem to have a game plan at the moment and could struggle against Namibia. They have a decent bowling attack though with a good mix of fast and spin bowling.
