Team Previews

Canada Preview

Canada has been fighting hard in ICC CWC League 2 but inconsistency has cost them crucial points. Sitting 5th on the table with 9 wins and 11 losses, Canada has the firepower to dominate but their top order often collapses. In their last game against Scotland, they were reduced to 32/6 before Shreyas Movva’s 60 and Jaskaran Singh’s resistance took them to 184, which wasn’t enough. Harsh Thaker has been their most consistent batter with 638 runs, while Dillon Heyliger leads the bowling with 35 wickets. The key for Canada will be ensuring their top order provides a solid foundation. Their lower middle order with Shivam Sharma and Saad Bin Zafar has shown resilience, but batting partnerships upfront remain crucial. If Canada’s batting clicks, they can overpower Namibia comfortably.

Namibia Preview

Namibia, currently 6th with 8 wins and 13 losses, has struggled to find momentum but proved their capability by beating Canada in the last meeting. Gerhard Erasmus has been the standout performer with 562 runs, while Bernard Scholtz has been a consistent wicket-taker with 37 scalps. Namibia’s batting thrives on Jan Frylinck’s experience; his century (114) in the last encounter against Canada alongside Dylan Leicher’s support showed the depth in their middle order. However, the inconsistency of top-order batters like Kotze and Erasmus has hurt them. Bowling remains disciplined, with Trumpelmann and Scholtz spearheading the attack. For Namibia to win, their batting must step up again and avoid collapses.
