Opting to field first for the first time in the tournament, Australia wasted no time dismantling the Namibian batting lineup. Adam Zampa led the bowling attack with a historic four-wicket haul, becoming the first Australian male cricketer to reach 100 T20I wickets.
Josh Hazlewood chipped in with two wickets inside the powerplay, further restricting Namibia’s scoring opportunities.
Namibia restricted to meagre total
Namibia’s batsmen struggled against the Australian bowling attack, managing only 72 runs in their allotted 17 overs. Captain Gerhard Erasmus top-scored with a fighting 36, but wickets fell consistently around him, preventing any significant partnerships.
Zampa (4), Josh Hazlewood (2), Marcus Stoinis (2), Pat Cummins (1) and Nathan Ellis (1) were all wicket takers for Australia.
