ZIM vs NAM Team Previews

Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe’s batting has been the standout feature of the series. Brian Bennett’s blistering 94 in the opener set the tone, while Tadiwanashe Marumani anchored the chase in the second match with a composed 50. Skipper Sikandar Raza continues to play a crucial role with both bat and ball, contributing runs in the middle order and picking key wickets.

Ryan Burl’s finishing ability was on display with a 24* (13 balls) cameo in the second T20I, while Brendan Taylor’s presence adds much-needed experience. In bowling, Blessing Muzarabani and Richard Ngarava have been effective with the new ball, while Brad Evans chipped in with 3 wickets in the last game.

Wellington Masakadza and Raza have also kept things tight in the middle overs.

With depth in both departments, Zimbabwe looks balanced and confident heading into this final game.

Namibia

Namibia has shown flashes of fight, but lack of consistency has cost them. Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton’s 47 (30 balls) in the second T20I gave them a strong start, and Malan Kruger’s 45 was another bright spot. Captain Gerhard Erasmus has been steady in the middle order with 26 and 37 in the first two matches.

However, their bowling has been under pressure. Ruben Trumpelmann has picked up wickets but has also been expensive, while JJ Smit’s double strike in the 2nd T20I was too late to turn the game. Bernard Scholtz has been economical, but Namibia has lacked penetration overall.

The batting unit will need more contributions from Frylinck and Smit to post a defendable score, otherwise Zimbabwe’s power-packed lineup may overwhelm them again.

Namibia Expected Playing 11

Malan Kruger, Jan Frylinck, Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, Gerhard Erasmus (C), JJ Smit, Zane Green (WK), Ruben Trumpelmann, Bernard Scholtz, Jack Brassell, Alexander Volschenk, Jan de Villiers

ZIM vs NAM Toss Prediction

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The surface at the Queens Sports Club has been excellent for batting, offering good bounce and pace. Scores above 170 have been par in this series. Bowlers who vary their lengths and use cutters have been more effective.

The weather forecast for Bulawayo is clear and sunny, meaning we can expect an uninterrupted contest.

ZIM vs NAM: Who Will Win?

Zimbabwe has been dominant across both games and has momentum firmly on its side. Namibia will fight hard, but their bowling lacks the bite to stop Zimbabwe’s in-form top order. With better balance and home advantage, Zimbabwe is the favorite to complete a clean sweep.
