AFG vs NAM, T20 WC Highlights: Afghanistan Register Another BIG Win, Defeat Namibia By 62 Runs

T20 WC 2021, Match 27, AFG vs NAM: Keep following this space for Live Scores & Updates from Afghanistan vs Namibia.

Background

T20 World Cup: Many experts of cricket feel that Afghanistan can be a surprise in this year's T20 WC. They have already defeated Scotland with a huge margin and troubled Pakistan in their second match. They have to win their remaining matches to qualify. On Sunday, Afghanistan will play against Namibia, a relatively easy opposition.

Afghanistan's tactics have been very different from the rest of the teams. While the other teams are insistent on bowling first after winning the toss, Afghanistan has adopted an approach to bat first and then trust their bowling.

In the presence of Rashid, Nabi, and Mujeeb, Afghanistan has arguably the best spin attack in the tournament. Afghanistan has a great coaching team in the form of Shaun Tait, Lance Klusener, and Andy Flower.
