NAM vs SA Match Preview:
The upcoming match will be historic as it will be the first international match between Namibia and South Africa. This would be the only match on the tour for the Proteas. The match will also mark the official opening of the Namibia Cricket Ground.
Namibia would certainly like to celebrate the occasion with a famous victory over their neighbours. With South Africa announcing a second-tier squad for the match, Namibia will be looking to take their chances.
They are coming into the game after registering wins over Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania and Malawi in the ICC T20 World Cup Africa Regional Final 2025. Although they lost the final against Zimbabwe, they still secured a place in next year’s T20 World Cup.

On the other hand, South Africa are coming into this match after a 2-1 loss to Australia and a 1-1 draw with England. They have named a second-string squad for the match and will have their work cut out for them against the in-form hosts.
South Africa will be without several first-team players such as Aiden Markram, Ryan Rickelton, Tristan Stubbs, Dewald Brewis, Corbin Bosch, Wian Mulder, Marco Jansen and Kagiso Rabada. Donovan Ferreira will lead the team in the absence of Markram.
Quinton de Kock has also returned to the Proteas squad and will be keen to make his comeback with a good innings. With players like Reeza Hendricks, Ferreira, Gerald Coetzee and Nandre Berger in the team, South Africa will be confident of winning the one-sided game.
