Venue: Namibia Cricket Ground
Tournament: T20I (Fantasy Preview)
Quick Match Preview
Form guide (last 5):
Namibia: L, L, L, W, L (mixed; recent wins largely vs Associate opponents)
South Africa: L, W, L, W, L (inconsistent but stronger opposition)
Toss context: SA have been decent batting first lately; Namibia have struggled when setting totals.
Takeaway: On a low-scoring venue with high bowling impact, SA’s pace unit (Maphaka/Coetzee/Burger) and Namibia’s multi-skill core (JJ Smit, Erasmus, Trumpelmann) are the key fantasy anchors.

Powerplay & Death Overs Impact
Namibia Bowling
PP: R Trumpelmann (LHP), B Shikongo – swing + lbw/bowled modes
Death: JJ Smit, J Frylinck – cutters/into the pitch
Middle: B Scholtz, Erasmus – choke runs, induce errors
South Africa Bowling
PP: K Maphaka (LHP), N Burger – pace hits the deck, edges in cordon
Death: G Coetzee, L Williams/N Peter – yorkers/short mix
Spin middle: B Fortuin – matchup tool to right-handers
Fantasy takeaway: Prioritize PP specialists (early wickets = top fantasy swings) and death enforcers.
MVP & Differential Picks
MVP (Safe/High-Usage)
K Maphaka (SA BOW): Venue suits him; PP wickets likely.
JJ Smit (NAM AR): 3D contribution (bat + 2–3 overs at tough phases).
J Nicol Loftie-Eaton (NAM BAT): Recent purple patch; can add part-time overs.
Differential (Low Ownership/High Upside)
G Coetzee (SA BOW): Death overs = multi-wicket bursts.
B Scholtz (NAM BOW): If SA consolidate, middle-overs wickets via dots/pressure.
R Hermann (SA WK): Form wicketkeeper; catches + finishing runs.
Suggested Dream11 Team (Pre-toss)
(Max 7 from one team; XI built for bowler-friendly conditions. Adjust for confirmed XIs.)
WK (1–2)
Q de Kock (SA)
R Hermann (SA) (backup/GL pivot; you can swap to Z Green (NAM) if DdK doesn’t play)
BAT (2–3)
Reeza Hendricks (SA)
J Nicol Loftie-Eaton (NAM)
D Ferreira (SA) *(finisher) / M Kruger (NAM) if Namibia bat first
AR (2–3)
JJ Smit (NAM) – C
G Erasmus (NAM) (or J Frylinck if team combo needs another bowler-bat)
J Frylinck (NAM) (optional third AR; GL heavy-bowl build)
BOWL (4–5)
K Maphaka (SA) – VC
G Coetzee (SA)
N Burger (SA)
R Trumpelmann (NAM) (PP)
B Scholtz (NAM) (GL swap for Burger if SA drop a seamer)
Default 11 (Safe):
Q de Kock; Reeza Hendricks; J Nicol Loftie-Eaton; JJ Smit (C); G Erasmus; K Maphaka (VC); G Coetzee; N Burger; R Trumpelmann; B Scholtz; R Hermann.
(7 SA / 4 NAM. If team limits require, drop Hermann for Frylinck or Kruger.)
Conditional Toss Strategy
If SA bat first:
Boost de Kock, Hendricks, Ferreira. Keep Maphaka/Coetzee (2nd-innings wicket surge).
GL C/VC punt: Coetzee (death).
If SA chase:
Retain 3-4 SA quicks; chasing sides have 60% win rate here → extra fielding points.
Captain Maphaka or JJ Smit (if Namibia set ~120–135).
If Namibia bat first:
Elevate Trumpelmann/Shikongo if they’ll bowl with a new ball under lights later (swap in Shikongo for a SA batter in GL).
Loftie-Eaton becomes key for any par-score push.
If Namibia chase:
Erasmus + Frylinck/JJ Smit value rises (stability + finishing), keep SA death pair for collapse hunting.
Final Tips
Monitor playing XI and role clarity (who bowls death for SA among Coetzee/Williams/Peter).
On this wicket, don’t be afraid to go 7 bowlers/bowling AR in GL.
Hedge by creating a Namibia-lean GL draft with Smit (C) + Scholtz/Trumpelmann triad if SA top-order wobbles.
Good luck, and play responsibly! 🏏
