Match Preview

Namibia will face Canada in the second T20I of the Canada tour of Namibia at Wanderers Cricket Ground in Windhoek. This marks the first-ever T20I encounter between the two teams. The opening match was abandoned due to rain, making this game crucial for both sides to gain an early advantage in the series.

Namibia have struggled in their recent T20I outings, losing their last five matches. This will be their first game in the format since October, when they suffered two defeats each against UAE and USA during the Namibia T20 Tri-Series. In contrast, Canada have been in better form, winning three of their last four T20Is. Their last appearance in the format was in October during the Canada T20 Tri-Series against Nepal and Oman.

Namibia will aim to capitalize on their home conditions, while Canada will be eager to put up a strong performance. With both teams looking to make an impact, this match promises to be an exciting contest.
