Namibia are placed fifth in the points table and have registered victories against Scotland in addition to losses to Pakistan and Afghanistan.
“We know New Zealand are a tough opposition. They’ve got world-class players there. And again seen as underdogs in the game, but we’ve played games in Sharjah. There was little success in Sharjah, and we think It’s a wicket that can suit our kind of bowling. So we’ve made our preparations. This afternoon is our last training session. We’ll go there and learn our skills,” Wiese said at the pre-match press conference on Thursday. Will try to refine it.”
“And at the end of the day T20 cricket, you know, one person can take the game away from the opposition. And if it’s your day you can stand up and have that man-of-the-match performance and you never know what could happen,” Wiese said.
Wiese expressed pride in having played a part in being a surprise qualifier for Super 12 from Round 1 in Namibia, which was a team goal. “Performance-wise, Namibia got into the Super 12 and had one or two big performances. And that was the main thing for me. Our main goal coming into the World Cup was to qualify for the Super 12, so we have to go to the T20s next year. Wouldn’t have to qualify for the 20 World Cup and we achieved our goal in that. To be able to play a role, even if it’s just a small part in qualifying and moving up in Namibia, getting more opportunities, I Really proud of it.”
After playing against New Zealand, Namibia will face India in Dubai on Monday.

But right from the start, when we qualified for Super 12, the prospect of us playing against India is exciting. They are a world class team. It is going to be a big game for India to get into the stage of the tournament we are in now. Hence, from the very beginning it is a game that everyone is eagerly waiting for. The opportunity you get to play against the best players in the world is facing the best bowlers.”
“It doesn’t happen often for a team like Namibia. We are just accepting that challenge. People are eager to test their skills against the best in the world, be it on the bowling side, Rohit, Virat, KL , bowling to all those guys. Batting-wise, facing Bumrah and facing Ashwin, coming and bowling well, as well as Jadeja, all these guys are top class players. You never know, you have the opportunity May come.
