Namibia have won all three tosses in the series but this is the first time they have chosen to bat. The Proteas enjoy a winning 2-0 lead after two lopsided victories this week.
The visitors have fielded a mainly second-string squad to assess their reserves with series against Australia later this month and England in January lying immediately ahead as well as next summer’s ICC World Cup hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.

Namibia win toss and bat in final ODI against South Africa

Namibia won the toss and chose to bat in the third and final ODI against South Africa at the FNB Namibia Cricket Ground in Windhoek on Sunday.

A superb century in his second ODI by Connor Esterhuizen and some penetrative fast bowling from Duan Jansen and Eathan Bosch enabled South Africa to cruise to a lopsided 157-run victory over an outclassed and outgunned Namibia in the second ODI at the FNB Namibia Cricket Ground in Windhoek on Friday.

Esterhuizen ton and Jansen-Bosch combo give Proteas crushing win

A superb century on debut by J. Hermann 150 (126 balls, 17x4s, 3x6s) and a second-wicket partnership of 190 with Tony de Zorzi helped power South Africa to a formidable 348 for six in their opening ODI against Namibia at the FNB Namibia Cricket Ground in Windhoek on Wednesday.

South Africa’s cricketers have yet to win a World Cup, unlike the Springboks, but the Proteas are moving closer to their rugby counterparts in one aspect at least. Nobody, except perhaps the coach and his inner sanctum, knows their best team.
