On Tuesday, October 1, the Wanderers Cricket Ground in Windhoek welcomes its third Namibia T20I Tri-Series 2024 match, as Namibia hosts the USA. The three-nation round-robin tournament between the United Arab Emirates and Namibia has lined up to engage in a double round-robin of matches against each other.
Previous Matches Overview
Namibia entered this competition following a lifeless loss of their previous game while losing to UAE by 40 runs. For that game, UAE had thereby set a match-winning target of 245 runs with some quality performances from the openers, Muhammad Waseem, and Alishan Sharafu, where Waseem scored 89 off just 50 balls and brisks 73 off 33 for Sharafu. Notwithstanding a courageous effort from Namibia’s JP Kotze, who struck at almost a run a ball to score 55 runs from 32 balls, the team could not hang about long enough and ended their innings at 204 runs.
In stark contrast, the USA is buoyant, coming off a narrow 15-run win over UAE. The American side had put up a solid total of 175 and then restrained UAE to 160 to underline its potential in this tournament. The encounter will be the first T20I between Namibia and the USA, and that would certainly bring about an added extra spice into the contest for the supporters as well as the players.

Venue Analysis
The Wanderers Sports Ground in Johannesburg is known for the fast bouncy pitch it presents and is one of the pace-friendly grounds for cricket. It tends to assist seamers vastly with good carry plus bounce especially early on. Therefore it’s a perfect wicket for fast bowlers. When the game progresses further, though, it becomes a lot more flat and the batsmen can freely score on the wicket. Also, with the high altitude of Johannesburg, the ball travels faster across the pitch, which makes the game a rather difficult prospect for the visiting teams, especially when they bat first.
