Namibia T20 Tri-Series Cricket Schedule
Namibia host a Twenty20 tri-series that will pit the nation against global powerhouse South Africa and up-and-coming Zimbabwe. The Proteas are the strongest of the three sides but little can be taken for granted in the T20 game. One bad over could see a team lose a cluster of wickets or leak a lot of runs, with T20 cricket an unforgiving format of the game.

Teams & Format
The format of the series will see the three sides battling in the Twenty20 format. A T20 game is the shortest of the major formats, with a total of 240 deliveries split evenly between the sides.
20 overs or 120 deliveries is very little time to build a score, meaning batters cannot take too long to start playing scoring shots. While this can see the ball clear the boundary rope, it also opens up the wicket-taking chances for the bowlers.
South Africa arrive as the side to beat. They boat a number of impressive batters and bowlers and have solidified their place as one of the top teams across formats in the men’s game.
Zimbabwe are the second strongest side and will feel they have every chance of challenging South Africa. Consistency with the bat is important for Zimbabwe, with a solid score needed to give their bowlers something to defend.
Namibia are the hosts and the weakest side in the tri-series. While Namibia will need everything to go their way to win this series, they will know that the T20 format is a game that will change with each over that goes by.
Key Players & Prospects
| Player (Team) | Prospects |
|---|---|
| Lhuan-dre Pretorius (South Africa) | The young South Africa wicket-keeper will likely be more prolific as a batter, with his ability to clear the boundary with ease a huge factor in his team’s batting unit. |
| Brian Bennett (Zimbabwe) | Brian Bennett is one of Zimbabwe's best batters and as an opener, he will set the tone for the rest of the innings. |
Namibia T20 Tri-Series Popular Betting Markets
- Series Winner: With three sides battling to win this series, the market is not as straightforward as a more traditional dual-team series. Zimbabwe could realistically lose both matches to South Africa but if they hammer Namibia and Namibia do the unthinkable and hammer South Africa twice, Zimbabwe could win the series. This makes backing either of the two underdogs more attractive.
- Most Sixes: The Twenty20 game is the shortest and most explosive of the major formats. With only 120 balls per innings, batters have to get moving quickly as they look to score runs and post big scores. The biggest possible scoring shot is the six, with a maximum the currency batters want to trade in. The most sixes market will ask bettors to wager on which team will score the most sixes in their innings.
