Preview:
Namibia are playing some quality cricket at the moment, having won the T20 series 2-1. It gave them an extra boost in the one-dayers as they sealed a 5-wicket victory in the 1st one-day and lead the 3 match series 1-0. Skipper Merwe Erasmus is in an extraordinary form, which is a plus sign for them.
Not enough runs on the board on a batting-friendly surface made South Africa Emerging lose the first one day by 5 wickets. They must win this match to take the series to the decider, which is to be played on the 1st of May. Runs should come from their top-order batters if they want to put huge scores on the board.
