Namibia secured a two-wicket win over Nepal, completing a series sweep in Wednesday’s thrilling ICC CWC League 2 match at TU Cricket Ground.
Chasing 169, Namibia faced early setbacks but a crucial 52-run partnership between Michael van Lingen (31) and Gerhard Erasmus (52) steadied the innings. JJ Smit’s unbeaten 34* ultimately guided Namibia to victory despite a spirited bowling effort from Nepal’s Kushal Bhurtel (3 wickets).
Nepal’s batting faltered earlier in the day, dismissed for 168 despite a defiant 58 from Aasif Sheikh. Namibia’s bowlers, led by Nicol Loftie-Eaton and Bernard Scholtz (4 wickets each), stifled the Nepalese innings.
This latest defeat underscores Nepal’s struggles in the series, highlighting Namibia’s dominance.
