United States should have the edge here. They have won four meetings in a row against this exact opponent, they arrive full of confidence after chasing down 330 against UAE, and the venue itself has just produced a huge successful chase.
Namibia have Gerhard Erasmus in good form and showed real quality earlier in this cycle with wins over Netherlands and Nepal, but their recent series defeat to South Africa and the recent head to head record against this opponent both count against them.
United States are the pick here, backed by their momentum and recent head to head record.
