With the much-awaited ICC T20 WC 2021 kicking off with Australia taking on South Africa, there has been so much buzz about the second group. Even though the first group is considered as the “Group of Death”, the second group is competitive as well. Adding on, nobody knows what might happen in the shortest format of the game.

Namibia, an African country is ranked 19th in the ICC T20 rankings. No one had expected them to reach the Super 12 of the T20 World Cup. But, with sheer determination, they have pulled off a miracle against Ireland.

Their captain Gerhard Erasmus has been a good leader. He has used his resources excellently in the qualifiers. But, in the Super 12, they have some stiff competition. Well, who knows, the Namibian spirit might overthrow the big teams.

All eyes will be on David Wiese as the former South African cricketer will now represent Namibia. He scored a smooth 66 against the Netherlands to guide his team to victory. Apart from that, they have the talent to beat teams like Scotland as well. But, to defeat teams like India and Pakistan, they need a few more talented players. Hence, they might not get into the semis.
