Preview:
We need to wait for the outcome of the 2nd T20I, as it will decide whether the 3rd T20I will be a decider or Namibia will take the series with one game still left. With some combined group efforts, Namibia convincingly won the 1st T20I by 7 wickets. They have got many skilful players and are favourites for this series.
Uganda should show better standards in the coming matches, since their performance in the 1st T20I was unimpressive. Hamu Kayondo, Roger Mukasa, and Ronak Patel played well with the bat and will be the ley players for their team.

Namibia vs Uganda 3rd T20I
Venue: Wanderers Cricket Ground, Windhoek
Time: 6:00 PM IST, 2:30 PM local time

Pitch Report:
Even though the ball was coming quite well onto the bat, the team batting first failed to score big runs on the board in the 1st T20I. Since it’s a second match of the day, the surface might get slow down and batting first is preferable.
