Summary
Minnows Namibia will be taking on the reigning World Test Champions South Africa in a competitive Cricket match for the very first time in history. Before this, the two teams never played a single match, not even in ICC competitions.
The Namibians will carry hopes of claiming victory in the one-off T20I match against South Africa, who have named quite a young squad for the series.
Namibia recently registered big victories against Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania and Malawi in the ICC T20 World Cup Africa Regional Final 2025 before losing to Zimbabwe in the finale. However, the loss didn't affect them as they already secured qualification in next year's T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.
Namibia will be hopeful to win the match against South Africa, who are heading into the series after a 2-1 defeat to Australia and 1-1 draw against England in separate T20I series over the last two months. Donovan Ferrera will be captaining the Proteas for the very first time.
