Namibia Secure Berth In T20 World Cup 2026 With Dominant Win Over Tanzania
Asked to bat first by Tanzania captain Kassim Nassoro, Namibia posted a competitive 174 for 6 in 20 overs, thanks to crucial half-centuries by skipper Gerhard Erasmus and allrounder JJ Smit. However, their innings was far from smooth sailing early on. The top order faltered as Jan Frylinck, Malan Kruger, Louren Steenkamp, and Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton all fell inside the Power-play, leaving Namibia under pressure.
Erasmus and Smit then came together to wrestle back control of the innings. The pair played with authority, scoring quickly to shift the momentum away from Tanzania. Erasmus anchored the innings with 55 off 41 balls, striking six boundaries, while Smit counterattacked with a powerful, unbeaten 61 from 43 deliveries, decorated with one four and four sixes. Their partnership ensured Namibia had the platform to reach a strong total.
