Preview:
Namibia will square off against Uganda in the 3rd and final T20I of the series on Sunday. Namibia didn’t expect a comeback from the visitors Uganda in the 2nd T20I as they lost the match by 7 wickets with one ball to spare. They have realized they don’t want to take things for granted and need to put more effort in order to win the series. Merwe-Gerhard Erasmus hasn’t been dismissed in this series and he is the player to watch out for in this match.
Uganda, on the other hand, showed more determination and courage in the 2nd T20I and chased the challenging total of 177 in the final over of the match to level the series 1-1. An unbeaten partnership of 118* runs between Riazat Ali Shah and Dinesh Nakrani sealed the game for them. They have a perfect opportunity to win the series and just need to keep the same momentum going.
