Namibia are hosting UAE and USA for a T20I Tri Series commencing on the 29th of September with Namibia and UAE squaring off in the Inaugural match of the Tri Series.

The 6th and the Final T20I will be played on the 5th of October 2024. All of the matches are scheduled to be played at the Wanderers Cricket Ground, Windhoek, Namibia.

All of the 3 teams have had enough match practice recently after having played the ICC Men's World Cup League 2 matches in Namibia.

Namibia are led by the experienced Gerhard Erasmus. They looked in sublime touch in the ICC Men's World Cup League 2 games. Openers Jean Pierre Kotze and Michael Van Lingen have been taking their team off to fliers and they should look to continue their all out attack strategy. Namibia are certainly the favorites going into the Tri Series.

UAE on the other hand are led by Waseem Muhammad. They have not been performing to their potential lately. Except for players like Ali Naseer, Aayan Afzal Khan and Basil Hameed, no other batter player is giving in their best. UAE will have to bring in their A game to the series if they have to challenge the mighty sides of Namibia and USA.

USA are led by Monank Patel and most of their players are in great form. Saurabh Netravalkar, Milind Kumar, Nosthush Kenjige have all shown what they are capable of in the ICC World Cup League 2 matches. USA are looking very strong on paper for the Namibia Tri Series.

Impact Players in each team:

UAE - Waseem Muhammad, Ali Naseer, Aayan Afzal Khan, Basil Hameed
Namibia - Jean Pierre Kotze, Michael Van Lingen, Gerhard Erasmus, Jan Nicol Loftie Eaton, Bernard Scholtz
USA - Saurabh Netravalkar, Milind Kumar, Nosthush Kenjige, Harmeet Singh
