Inclement weather has led to the cancellation of Canada’s T20 matches against Namibia for the second time this week, after an earlier abandon and a weather-shortened match where Namibia won. The series continues this weekend as teams aim to play amidst the unfavorable conditions, with Namibia ranked 15th and Canada ranked 21st by the ICC.
In Windhoek, inclement weather has once again compelled the cancellation of the T20 cricket match between Canada and Namibia, marking the second time this week that the teams have failed to take the field. The initial match scheduled for Tuesday was also abandoned, while Namibia achieved victory in their encounter on Wednesday amidst adverse weather conditions.
In the latest match, Namibia, having won the toss, opted to field first. Canada, under the leadership of 18-year-old Yuvraj Samra, scored 145 runs for eight wickets in their 15 overs. Namibia clinched the win at 146 for seven, with Zane Green notably scoring the match-winning runs off the last delivery bowled by Kaleem Sana, contributing nine runs in that final over.
The teams are set to compete again in Namibia’s capital on Saturday and Sunday. The International Cricket Council (ICC) ranks Namibia at 15th and Canada at 21st in T20 cricket. Furthermore, poor weather has disrupted recent games, including Canada’s matches against the Netherlands, which were also cancelled. Currently, Canada holds a third-place position in the World League table with a record of 9 wins and 5 losses, including two no-results.
The series held between Canada and Namibia has been significantly impacted by poor weather conditions, resulting in multiple match cancellations. Both teams will seek to play on the upcoming weekend, pushing forward despite past interruptions. Namibia’s current ranking and their victory in the interrupted match reflects their competitive edge in T20 cricket, whilst Canada strives to improve its standings despite the setbacks.
