The previous fixture between the two teams was dominated by Namibia with the bat as well as the ball. Hence, we expect Namibia to come down hard on Papua New Guinea.

Meanwhile, Papua New Guinea started off great in the tournament but suffered heavy losses in the middle. That has put them at the bottom of the points table.
