Namibia a part of a historic tri-series with South Africa and Zimbabwe
Three African nations converge on Windhoek this week for a tri-series that carries rather more significance for two of them than the rankings might suggest. Namibia hosts South Africa and Zimbabwe at the Namibia Cricket Ground from August 28, with the final scheduled for September 6.
South Africa arrive as comfortably the highest-ranked side at fifth in the world, though they have sent a second-string squad led by left-arm spinner Björn Fortuin. Dewald Brevis, Kwena Maphaka and Lhuan-dre Pretorius headline a group built around emerging IPL talent rather than established internationals.
Zimbabwe, ranked 12th, are using the tournament as preparation ahead of co-hosting the ICC ODI World Cup in 2027. Namibia sit 17th but carry genuine belief, having won the only previous T20I between them and South Africa by six wickets.
Captain Gerhard Erasmus believes the gap between full members and associates has narrowed considerably in the shortest format. “Lots of the associate nations have gone away from the tag of just competing, and games are actually started on a very equal footing these days, especially the T20 format,” he said. “If you have two star performers on the day, it could swing the result your way.”
