The 42nd Match of the T20 World Cup 2021/22 is scheduled to play India vs Namibia on Monday, 8th November October 2021 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.

Team India came back to the form that they are known for too late. They lost early matches against Pakistan and New Zealand and this is the key reason they are out. This will be the last match of Virat Kohli as captain. We think that this match will be a final send-off for the senior players and we are not expecting many changes in the final playing eleven. KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma will open the batting for India followed by Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav.

Namibia was beaten by New Zealand in their most recent match by the margin of 52 runs. The performance of their bowling unit was not bad. They leaked 163 runs in their inning of 20 overs. Gerhard Erasmus, David Wiese, and Bernard Scholtz picked one wicket each while Ruben Trumpelmann, JJ Smit, Loftie-Eaton, and Karl Birkenstock were the bowlers who failed to pick any wicket in the previous match against New Zealand.

India had never faced Namibia in T20 matches and this will be the first T20 match between these two teams.

We have no doubt that India is overall a strong team as compared to India at least on papers. According to our today prediction, India is the favorite team that will win this match. There are many factors that make India a favorite team to win this match. Some of the key factors are mentioned as under:

• India is overall a strong and well-balanced team
• The bowling unit of Namibia had been good in some recent matches
• India has more depth than Namibia even they are out of form
• The batting order of Namibia is weak when we compare it with India

India is full of experienced and young players of the t20 format. The batting order of this team is also strong and some well-known hitters of the t20 format are part of the squad of this team, so the winning chances of today's match for India have been increased. The equation of who will win today's cricket match prediction and who will win the cricket match today is mentioned as under.

India has a 90% chance to win this match
Namibia has a 10% chance to win this match

The toss will play an important role in the decision of all matches of World Cup T20. Having a good total on the board is always a big advantage in these kinds of big matches. According to our toss prediction, the team that will win the toss may choose to bat first.

The 42nd Match of World Cup T20 2021 is going to be held at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 170 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast in Dubai is predicting some clouds around on match day but the weather forecast does not predict rain. We should be able to have a full uninterrupted match.
