Winning Prediction
Although Ireland won the first ODI by 55 runs, Namibia will have the advantage of playing on home soil. Their recent form has also been better, with two wins, two losses and one no-result in their last five matches, compared to Ireland's one win and four defeats. Namibia will aim to make better use of their home conditions and deliver a more consistent performance with both bat and ball. With home advantage and stronger recent form, Namibia have a good chance of levelling the series.
