Before facing formidable teams like the defending champions England, and the 2023 ICC ODI World Cup winner Australia, team Namibia aims for victories against Oman and Scotland to maintain the winning momentum they are carrying from warm-up matches.
The Gerhard Erasmus-led team played three warm-up matches before stepping into the marquee event, winning two of them. They first defeated the newcomer Uganda by 5 wickets successfully chasing the target of 135 runs. And then, suffered a seven-wicket loss against Australia chasing the target of 124 runs. But their spirits were lifted again as they won the third warm-up match against Papua New Guinea by 3 runs in the DLS method.
Namibia are yet to win an ICC World Cup title, in the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup, the team defeated Sri Lanka, but then they missed the opportunity to enter playoffs after two consecutive defeats in the group stage matches.
