USA vs NAM: Pitch Report
The wicket at Chepauk Stadium is expected to be slow, but the wicket has played well for the batters in three games played here so far. Especially batters are expected to get good conditions in the first innings. We saw in the previous game, the batting conditions became tough in the chase as the wicket got slow. Something similar we can expect here as well.

USA vs NAM: Players to Watch out for
Namibia: Gerhard Erasmus has been the top player for Namibia. He is the leading scorer for his country and one of the leading wicket-takers in T20Is as well.
United States of America: Formwise, Shubham Ranjane has been the most consistent player for USA. He has scored 37, 51, and 48* in three innings. He will look to take it forward and play another quality innings here.
United States of America vs Namibia Today’s Match Prediction: The toss will be crucial here, as the team that bats first will have a little more chance of winning. It is because, early on, the wicket in the first innings will be better, and as the game moves forward, the second innings will be difficult. Namibia have been poor in both aspects.
But their batting has been horrible, as their batters have failed to adjust to these conditions. But with a win under their belts, the USA are looking very good at the moment. They have made some changes to their squad, which has worked well for them. Hence, the USA will be the favorite for this game.
