ZIM vs NAM 3rd T20I Predictions & Betting Tips

Zimbabwe will meet with Namibia in the 3rd of the five match T20I series which is a part of Namibia’s tour of Zimbabwe 2022. The match which is scheduled to take place on May 21 will be hosted at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo. Ahead of the match day, I have with me three of the best money making betting tips for you from the ZIM vs NAM head-to-head contest.

The series is well set up at the moment as Zimbabwe lost the second T20I by 8 wickets. Batting first, the hosts failed to keep up the run rate as they managed to score only 122 runs at the end of 20 overs. They tried their best to defend the score however 20 runs short on a decent batting deck. Namibia on the other hand, came back sharply in the second T20I to level the five match series 1-1. The bowlers were splendid as they bowled proper line and lengths to restrict Zimbabwe to the marginal score of 122, thereafter an unbeaten half-century from Craig Williams provided the visitors a thumping 8 wickets win in the match end with 12 balls to spare. I have picked the best team and player betting tips from the ZIM vs NAM match predictions. Have a look.

ZIM vs NAM Team Bet:

Mentioned below is the top team betting tip from the ZIM vs NAM head-to-head contest.

Namibia to score over 18.5 runs at 1st dismissal

Namibia has come a long way and has climbed to the 16th position in the ICC T20I Men’s ranking. In this series where Namibia met Zimbabwe in the first two games, Namibia managed to put across 67 runs in the 1st T20I. The duo combining Craig Williams and Divan la Cock registered 67 runs for the first wicket in 9.1 overs before Williams gave away his wicket and was dismissed at 25 runs. Williams did better in the 2nd game, scoring 62* runs while his partner lost his wicket scoring 9 runs. Their duo lasted for 26 runs in the 2nd T20I. This indicates that Namibia are well capable of scoring over our target. They played against Uganda recently in April where they registered 70, 14 and 21 runs before the 1st dismissal in the game. Craig Williams, averages at 28.96 in his T20I career whereas his average escalates to 31.50, batting in the 1st position. With that mentioned, Namibia are more likely to score over 18 runs for the 1st wicket in the ZIM vs NAM head-to-head showdown. Pari Match offers the odds of 1.87 for the same and it is a lucrative betting tip for earning a profitable return.

ZIM vs NAM Player Bets:

Craig Ervine and Craig Ervine are my top two player betting tips from the ZIM vs NAM head-to-head encounter.

Craig Williams to score over 19.5 runs

Craig Williams, the 38 year old Namibian batter, has been a crucial part of the Namibian cricket circuit in recent years. He made his T20I debut in 2019 but has been an active part of the domestic cricket scenario. He has an experience of 30 T20I games where he amassed 753 runs at an average of 28.96. This ranges over our betting tip and should indulge some confidence onto this betting tip. He is playing his first set of games against Zimbabwe where he scored 25 and an unbeaten 62 runs in the two games respectively. This sums up to 87 runs, averaging at 87.00. The batter averaged 27.00 in 2021 but significantly bombarded runs in 2022 in the 4 games he played where he is currently running with an average of 42.00. Craig Williams, despite not having the best advantage in terms of his age, has performed decently opening for the team and averages 31.50 batting at the 1st position. In the recently concluded series against Uganda, Williams smashed 8 and 31 runs in the T20I series while scoring much more in the ODI series where he scored 36* and 90 runs. Having said that, Craig Williams will go in as the best player batting prospect from Namibia in the ZIM vs NAM head-to-head match. Pari Match offers the odds of 1,87 for Craig Williams to score over 19.5 runs in the upcoming fixture and it is a great betting tip to win some money with.

Craig Ervine to score over 20.5 runs

A promising left-handed middle order batsman, Craig Ervine is one of the strongest batting pillars from Zimbabwe. The Zimbabwe skipper scored an unbeaten half century as the hosts cruised towards their first victory in the five match T20I series at home. Ervine stitched a 71 run partnership with S Raza and steadied Zimbabwe’s sinking ship after losing two wickets in quick succession for just 44. Ervine played well for his 55* off 39 balls. He, however, bundled out for 5 runs in the previous game after an unfortunate dismissal by Wiese. The 36-year-old has posted scores of 26, 30, 25, 55* and 5 runs in the last five matches he batted in the 20 over format. This entails 80% efficiency of Ervine to score over 20 runs, considering his current form. Ervine has played 35 T20I career games where he mustered 837 runs at an average of 26.15. From averaging at 34.37 in 2021, Ervine has played 2 games in 2022 and managed to raise his average to 60.00. At the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo he has kept an average of about 30 in the three matches he has played there. The stats clearly work in favour of this betting tip thus making it a strong one for this game. Pari Match has offered odds of 1.87 in Craig Ervine’s favour to score over 20.5 runs from the ZIM vs NAM head-to-head contest and you should pick it for a great payday.
