🏆 Australia vs Namibia Prediction
Australia is a stronger side as compared to Namibia. Australia is the most successful international team with most ICC trophies. Both the sides have never played a T20I match against each other. Namibia surely has a squad to give a good fight but defeating Australia will be a difficult task for them.
