The Namibia vs Canada 1st T20 match is set to take place on March 18, 2025, at the Namibia Cricket Ground in Windhoek. This match marks the beginning of a five-match T20I series, which will run until March 23, 2025. Both teams are looking to regain momentum ahead of the 2026 T20 World Cup.
Namibia, led by Gerhard Erasmus, has been struggling in T20Is, enduring a seven-match losing streak since the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup. They will aim to break this streak and start the series on a positive note. Key players for Namibia include JJ Smit, Ruben Trumpelmann, and Bernard Scholtz.
Canada, captained by Nicholas Kirton, has had a mixed run in recent T20Is. While they failed to secure the Netherlands tri-nation T20I series in 2024, they bounced back by winning the Canada T20 tri-series later that year. Players like Dillon Heyliger, Saad Bin Zafar, and Navneet Dhaliwal are expected to play crucial roles. Ahead of the Namibia vs Canada 1st T20 match, check out the Namibia Cricket Ground pitch report.
