Namibia v Netherlands – Betting Tips and Predictions
Here are more expert cricket betting tips. These can help you make stronger decisions. The predictions include good advice about the odds on offer.
Bet on Wiese for Top Namibia Bowler
David Wiese is a world-class all-rounder and has now played international cricket for two countries – Namibia after South Africa.
He has represented many franchises in domestic T20 cricket, most recently in the T20 Blast and CPL.
Wiese is a huge asset to Namibia’s seaming resources and is a really good price at 3.7 with bet365 to be their top bowler in this match.
Choose Cooper as Top Netherlands Batsman
Ben Cooper comes from Australia, but now plays international cricket for the Netherlands. He is among the best opening batsmen within the association nations.
Cooper was run out for a duck in the previous match, so didn’t get the opportunity to show what he can actually do.
He is massively talented and has another chance to impress here. He’s a good value bet at 5.0 with 22Bet to be the top Netherlands batsman in this match.
Back a Bowling Accumulator
1xBet continue with their popular accumulator outcomes. This one doesn’t involve any bowler in particular, but proposes an interesting result.
You can bet on any bowler among the Namibian or Netherlands team to take a five-wi ket haul at 21.0 with 1xBet. It’s a long-odds option but could be worth it.
There are bowlers in this match, such as David Wiese, who have five-fors in T20I cricket. The low-scoring conditions could suit the seamers and spinners.
