Varun Chakravarthy starred with the ball, taking 3/7. His spell broke Namibia’s chase early and ended any hopes of a comeback. Namibia struggled to build partnerships under pressure. Lauren Steenkamp top-scored with 29 runs. Namibia were all but bowled out for 116 in the 19th over.
One of the most positive signs of this #WorldCup2026 has been the tactical clarity shown by relatively inexperienced sides like Italy, Nepal, USA, and now Namibia.
