The pressure is surely on the admittedly under-strength South Africans who surprisingly lost their first match yesterday against hosts Namibia – an ICC Associate team – who beat them by 18 runs in the opening game of the Namibia T20I tri-nations competition. It was Namibia’s second consecutive victory against their next-door neighbours.

Zimbabwe win toss and bat against Proteas

Zimbabwe won the toss and chose to bat first in their T20I match against South Africa at the Namibia Cricket Ground in Windhoek on Saturday.

Jan Frylinck hammered an impressive half-century, while Ruben Trumpelmann and Gerhard Erasmus put on a clinic on bowling at the Namibia Cricket Ground to help the hosts secure an 18-run win over South Africa in their Namibia T20I Tri-Series match on Friday.

A new-look Proteas side heads to Windhoek to battle Namibia and Zimbabwe in a must-watch T20 Tri-Series. Expect big hits, rising stars and fierce competition as South Africa tests its depth in the race for silverware.

PROTEAS RELOADED: Stream the charge

South Africa will do their best to maximise on the opportunities provided to them, and they will look to adapt as quickly as possible and find ways to be positive and make it work should they run into tough conditions at the upcoming Namibia T20 Tri-Series.
