Preview:
Namibia have been the dominant force in both the T20 and the unofficial ODI series against South Africa Emerging team, but that being said, the youngsters from the rainbow nation did perform well to take the one-day series to the last game.
Having started off with a defeat, South Africa Emerging team faced a do-or-die situation in the last game. Their batting unit was poor yet again, as all they could muster up was 196. But their bowlers had the time of their lives, as they bowled Namibia out for only 139.
