Namibia vs Canada 3rd T20I Match Preview

Canada have an uphill task heading into the remaining games in the series. They have to win every game to win the series. Given how Namibia chased down the target in the first T20I, they will not make things easier for the visitors. A total of 150 from Canada did not pose any challenge to the hosts who chased down the target rather comfortably.

Both Canada and Namibia are heading into this series on the back of losses in their previous series. Canada lost four matches to UAE, & USA in September & October in a four-match T20I series at home. Namibia also failed to qualify for the Super 8s in the T20 World Cup 2024 as they faced defeats against Scotland, Australia, and England.
