Namibia won the toss and elected to bat against Canada. Namibia got off to a good start. Although the batsmen are batting very slowly. But we always see such slow batting from these teams. A target of 220-250 is enough for them to win. Neither Canada nor Namibia are very strong teams. So if Namibia can somehow give a target of more than 200, then their chances of winning are high.

After 25 overs, Namibia scored 100 runs for the loss of three wickets . Opener Zane green could not add any runs to the scoreboard. Jp Kotze was just out after scoring 48 runs. Besides , nikolaas Davin played an innings of 31 runs.

Another Namibian wicket fell, especially with the new bowling line-up, with Shahid Ahmadzai taking two crucial wickets. If Namibia cannot score over 200 runs, they will not be able to play against Canada in today's match, and Canada is in third position in the points table. In ODIs, if you don't score above 200 runs, it will definitely not be competitive. However, if Namibia cannot score big in today's match, then it will be very tough for them to get 200 runs.

Teams like Namibia do not have any batsmen in their squad who can bat responsibly and stay at the crease for a long time. Every batsman's batting is very erratic. So it is not sure whether Namibia will be able to collect more than 200 in today's match. However, if Namibia can collect more than 220, I will consider it a good target.

Namibia's batsmen have collected 143 runs in 39 overs. However, Namibia has lost 6 wickets. A talented batsman like Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton is still at the crease. It is not possible to say for sure whether Loftie-Eaton can play a big innings. Even then, I hope Namibia will collect around 200 today.
