Namibia and Zimbabwe will go neck-to-neck in the 3rd match of the T20I Tri-Series 2026 at the Namibia Cricket Ground in Windhoek on Monday, 31 August. The home side will be looking to continue their winning run after defeating one of the best cricket teams in the world, South Africa, in their opening match, while Zimbabwe will aim to bounce back after a heavy defeat against the Proteas.

Namibia started the tri-series with an impressive 18-run win over South Africa. Jan Frylinck scored 60 runs from 38 balls, while Louren Steenkamp added 41 runs to help Namibia post 163/9. With the ball, Ruben Trumpelmann and JJ Smit picked up three wickets each, while Gerhard Erasmus also contributed with a wicket. Namibia will now look to maintain their momentum against Zimbabwe.

Brian Bennett scored 34 runs, while Tadiwanashe Marumani smashed 30 runs from just 13 balls. Ben Curran also provided a quick 24 off 12 balls. However, Zimbabwe were restricted to 144/8, and their bowling attack struggled to contain the South African batters.
