Namibia secures a spot in the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Namibia emerged victorious from the African Qualifiers for the 2024 World Cup, guaranteeing their spot in the T20 World Cup for a record three consecutive years. The tournament hosts Namibia, who are the only team undefeated in the competition, defeated Tanzania by 58 runs on Tuesday, November 28, extending their winning streak to five games.
Tanzania’s fervent chase was swiftly extinguished by the symphony of precision orchestrated by Namibia’s bowlers. Prior to this dramatic intervention, Namibia’s batters had woven a tapestry of skill, culminating in a compelling total of 157, casting a spell of challenge in the cricketing arena. Ultimately, Tanzania had no trouble crossing the finish line; it was just a matter of them batting out the allocated overs.
Namibia has dominated these qualifiers, with the exception of the Kenya match, where the chase had a minor stutter. Namibia will fancy their chances of putting on a better show in 2024 on pitches that should suit their style of play. Gerhard Erasmus’s men made an impressive debut during the 2021 World Cup, which was held in the UAE. However, the 2022 edition in Australia was a letdown.
Kenya and Uganda, who have each earned six points from their first four games, will compete for the final spot. With only four points from four games, Zimbabwe, the only full-member team in the competition, is in a bit of a hole but still has a chance to advance.
