Possible XI: Australia vs Namibia
Let us now take you through the possible playing XIs for the teams to help you analyse the Australia vs Namibia best odds.
Australia are currently placed second in the table with 4 points and a net run rate of +1.875 thanks to wins in both their matches until now. After beating Oman by 39 runs, they defeated defending champions England by 36 runs. Marcus Stoinis has been stupendous for them as he is both their top run-scorer and top wicket-taker.
David Warner has got runs under his belt after having an indifferent IPL with the Delhi Capitals. Adam Zampa has taken charge in the middle-overs and has picked up 4 wickets. Mitchell Starc bowled well against Oman before losing his way a wee bit against the English team.
Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh and Glenn Maxwell are yet to be at their very best, but can take down any bowling attack. The pace trio of Josh Hazlewood, Starc and P at Cummins are expected to make life tough for the Namibian bowling attack.
Namibia, led by Gerhard Erasmus, edged past Oman in a thriller that went right down to the Super Over. However, they faltered against Scotland, losing by 5 wickets after failing to chase down 156. Beating Australia would not be a walk in the park for them.
Australia: David Warner, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh (c), Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Matthew Wade (wk), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood
Namibia: Nikolaas Davin, JP Kotze, Jan Frylinck, Gerhard Erasmus (c), Malan Kruger, JJ Smit, David Wiese, Zane Green (wk), Ruben Trumpelmann, Bernard Scholtz, Tangeni Lungameni
Australia vs Namibia: Head-to-Head
Australia and Namibia are yet to face each other in T20Is. In their only meeting in international cricket, Australia beat Namibia by 256 runs back in the 2023 ODI World Cup at North West Cricket Stadium in Potchefstroom.
Australia with upper hand against Namibia
Australia will go into the game as favourites with odds of 1.016 on 22Bet.
Australia will go into their next game as the firm favourites. They have won 2 matches in the ongoing tournament without having to break a sweat. Given their current form, they should not have many troubles in beating Namibia. In 2022 as the host nation, Australia could not perform to expectations and are desperate to turn their fortunes around.
Namibia, in the meantime, have the likes of David Wiese, Jan Frylinck and Gerhard Erasmus, who all have played against top quality players around the world. Namibia have the potential to pull off an upset, but for now, the odds are heavily in favour of the Australian team.
If you believe Namibia can pull off a surprise, go to Parimatch and Betwinner where the odds are 11.50.

The pitch in Antigua is expected to be good for batting. The average score in T20Is from 14 matches is 140. Teams batting first have won 9 games, but Scotland beat Oman last time around while chasing. Hence teams can also opt to field first.
Characteristics of the venue
- Batters can play their shots on the up and bowlers may need to work harder.
- The outfield is expected to be fast and fielders have their task cut out
- Spinners are likely to play a big role
Australia vs Namibia best odds for betting

Travis Head is expected to be the top batter for Australia with odds of 3.60 while Niko Davin will be the best batter for Namibia with odds of 4.00.
