Rain truncates chase, Namibia fall short of revised target

Heavy showers disrupted the second innings of the ODI at the Namibia Cricket Ground, forcing officials to apply the Duckworth‑Lewis method. Namibia, after losing three quick wickets, found themselves at 76 for three in 21.3 overs before the rain interruption. When play resumed, the target was adjusted to 301 runs from a reduced 38 overs. The visitors managed 292 for five before the rain halted further overs, leaving them 9 runs behind the par score. Namibia’s best bowler, Ruben Trumbleman, claimed four wickets, but the batting line‑up could not sustain the required run‑rate, handing South Africa a 99‑run win.
