Australia vs Namibia T20 World Cup 2024 Live Update: Australia quickly reaches Namibia’s target in less than six overs: Namibia’s Innings Ends with Captain Gerhard Erasmus Being the Top Scorer
Australia secured their spot in the Super 8s after easily defeating Namibia by nine wickets on Wednesday at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. Namibia, batting first, struggled to score runs, with their captain Gerhard Erasmus being one of the only two players to reach double figures. They were all out for just 72 runs.
Australia’s bowlers dominated the game, particularly after Namibia lost half of their side with only 21 runs on the board. Australia’s captain, Mitchell Marsh, won the toss and chose to bowl first without hesitation. Australia, the winners of the 2021 tournament, have begun their campaign with three consecutive wins, defeating Oman, England, and now Namibia to lead their group.
On the other hand, Namibia has had a mixed performance in the tournament so far. They won their opening match against Oman in a Super Over but suffered a defeat against Scotland in their second match, losing by five wickets.
