Where to Watch Namibia vs South Africa live

Namibia and South Africa will face off in a landmark one-off T20 International in Windhoek on October 11, 2025, which will mark the official inauguration of Namibia’s brand-new FNB Namibia Cricket Ground. This historic clash is the first senior bilateral T20I between the two African nations. The 7,000-capacity stadium is built to international standards and is set to host major events, including the 2026 U-19 World Cup and the 2027 ODI World Cup.

Namibia has witnessed recent success in the T20 World Cup Africa Qualifiers, which will be led by in-form players like JJ Smit, Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, and spinner Bernard Scholtz. It will be a great opportunity for these players as they will be playing against some of the best cricket teams in the world.

They face a somewhat second-string South African side captained by Donovan Ferreira, with stars like Quinton de Kock and young quicks Gerald Coetzee and Kwena Maphaka expected to feature. South Africa has rested several first-choice players, and Namibia sees a real chance to pull off an upset and announce itself on the big stage. The pitch at the new venue is expected to be batting-friendly.

Key Players to Watch in Namibia vs South Africa T20 2025

For the South Africa tour of Namibia 2025, several standout players from both sides are expected to take center stage. For Namibia, all-rounder Jan Frylinck has been in sensational form this year, scoring over 300 runs with an average above 44 and a remarkable strike rate nearing 196. Alongside him, JJ Smit brings balance to the side with his powerful middle-order hitting and left-arm pace. Captain Gerhard Erasmus has been in decent form and adds to the stability of the batting lineup, and contributes handy off-spin.

On the South African side, despite several first-choice players being rested, the squad is packed with talent. Captain Donovan Ferreira has been in brilliant touch with the bat in 2025. In the pace department, Kwena Maphaka and Gerald Coetzee are two exciting prospects, both offering raw pace and wicket-taking ability.

Veteran cricketer Quinton de Kock is returning to international cricket after a long time. He has been one of the best wicketkeeper-batsmen in the world over the years and his experience will be essential to support this young Proteas side. While his recent form has been mixed, his experience makes him a constant danger in the shorter format.
