In the Group B match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, Namibia was struggling to keep up with Australia. Captain Gerhard Erasmus was one of the only two Namibian batters to score in double figures, with a total of 12 runs. The team was unable to keep up with Australia’s pace and were eventually bowled out for 72 runs at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua.
Despite their struggles, Namibia had a mixed performance so far in the competition. They won their first match against Oman in a Super Over but lost to Scotland by five wickets in their second match. On the other hand, Australia had been dominating the tournament so far, with wins against Oman and England.
The playing XIs for today’s match are as follows:
Australia XI: David Warner, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh (c), Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stonis, Tim David, Matthew Wade (wk), Pat Cummins, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood
