Canada were able to come away with one win against Namibia on either side of their two matches against Netherlands getting rained out. However, in the final match of that phase, Namibia were able to defend a low target to get their first win.
Namibia struggled in the early part of that leg, particularly against the discipline of Netherlands. While they lost in a Super Over match against Canada, they found a way to come away with a consolation win by the end of the Namibia phase.
Canada Recent Form
In their previous match, Canada managed to dismiss Namibia for 186 in 49 overs led by Kaleem Sana’s 4 for 33 from his eight overs. Even Shahid Ahmadzai was terrific, returning figures of 4 for 34 from his 10 overs.
Their problems came with the bat as they were bowled out for 154 after a strong start where they were 79 for 0. Yuvraj Samra came away with 53 off just 74 balls while his opening partner Navneet Dhaliwal produced a patient 25 off 54 balls.

Canada will make a few changes for the T20s but will also consider more spinning options for the conditions in Windhoek.
Namibia Recent Form
The manner of victory for Namibia will give them a lot of confidence and momentum. At one point, they were buried in their defence of 166 in the DLS method but their spinners came away with the game as captain Gerhard Erasmus returned 4 for 24 from his nine overs.
Bernard Scholtz was typically economical, with 1 for 27 from his nine overs. Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton had 1 for 13 from his five overs. JP Kotze managed 48 off 71 balls with five fours.
Namibia News
Namibia will continue their trial by spin by bringing more spinners into their team.
Verdict
Namibia will start as slight favourites considering their recent form and fluency. Canada are not going to be pushed over, not by any means, but there is enough in that Namibian team to ensure they come away with a win in the opener. Namibia have depth in their spin-bowling resources including captain Gerahrd Erasmus in fine form.
