Inclement Weather Cancels Canada-Namibia T20 Cricket Match Again

Canada’s T20 cricket match against Namibia was canceled again due to weather, marking its second abandonment this week. The teams will try again over the weekend after Namibia’s previous win. Weather impacted both this series and earlier games against the Netherlands.

In Windhoek, Canada’s T20 cricket match against Namibia faced cancellation again due to inclement weather, marking the second abandonment this week. The series opener was also disrupted, and Namibia secured a narrow victory in a weather-shortened encounter on Wednesday.

Winning the toss, Namibia opted to field first, limiting Canada to 145 runs for eight wickets in 15 overs, with 18-year-old Yuvraj Samra contributing 37 runs. Namibia then chased down the target, completing their innings at 146 for seven, aided by Zane Green’s crucial last-ball hit for two runs.

The matches were postponed, and the teams will attempt to play again on Saturday and Sunday in Namibia’s capital. Presently, Namibia is positioned 15th and Canada 21st in the ICC T20 rankings. Weather disruptions affected Canada recently, contributing to the cancellation of two games against the Netherlands earlier this month.

The ongoing inclement weather has significantly impacted the T20 cricket series between Canada and Namibia, resulting in multiple match cancellations. Despite these challenges, both teams remain hopeful for upcoming opportunities to compete. With Namibia ranked 15th and Canada 21st in international standings, future matches may prove critical for both teams’ advancement.
