NAM vs ZIM-ET Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Update for 2nd Unofficial ODI
Namibia are on the verge of yet another series win.
Preview:
Namibia will be up against Zimbabwe Emerging Team in the 2nd Unofficial ODI series on Friday. Namibia are in a commanding position in this series, having won the first game by a massive margin of 112 runs. They are one of the most improved side in recent times and have a great future in the coming years.
On the other hand, Zimbabwe Emerging Team have been out of ideas in this tour. They are yet to win a game here on Namibian soil. They conceded runs quite cheaply in the first match, which cost them badly. The fighting knock of Richmond Mutumbami couldn’t save them. Zimbabwe Emerging Team must win this match to stay alive in this series.

Pitch Report:
The wicket has got true bounce and the batters can play their shots on the rise trusting the bounce. There is more help for the quick bowlers here and the surface doesn’t change much in the latter half. Having said that, batting first is still a good option here.

Top Picks for NAM vs ZIM-ET Dream11 Match:
Top Picks – Namibia
Skipper Gerhard Erasmus didn’t have any big scores with the bat in the T20 series, but he made it up for that by scoring 97 runs from 89 deliveries in the 1st Unofficial ODI.
Michael van Lingen is a player to watch out for. Despite getting a good start, he managed to score only 22 runs in the 1st match of this Unofficial ODI series. However, he bowled brilliantly in the second half, picking up 3 wickets by conceding just 14 runs.
Top Picks – Zimbabwe-ET
Chamu Chibhabha hit 3 fours in his short innings of 13 runs in the 1st Unofficial ODI. Zimbabwe Emerging Team’s skipper needs to step up and take more responsibility. He has got great potential and will be a good pick for your fantasy teams.
Richmond Mutumbami was able to score only 20 runs in the 3-match T20 series. He backed his ability and played a gritty knock of 91 runs in the 1st Unofficial ODI. If anything, Mutumbami will be disappointed for not reaching the 3-figure mark.

NAM vs ZIM-ET Risky Captaincy Choices:
Zane Green is a young wicketkeeper batter who had a great T20 series. He didn’t get off the mark in the 1st Unofficial ODI. Green will be a risky captaincy pick for your fantasy teams.
Kevin Kasuza has international experience playing for Zimbabwe. He had a fairly satisfactory game in the 1st Unofficial ODI, where he scored 38 runs. You can take a risk and pick him as your fantasy team skipper.
Player you should avoid:
Since there is plenty of competition among the batters, it’s hard to pick Steven Saul in the final eleven.
