The Namibian Eagles are in fine form ahead of next week’s tour to the Netherlands after they completed a third successive victory against Vidarbha on Monday.
That six-wicket win against the reigning Vijay Hazare Trophy champions gave them an unbeatable lead in the five-match series, and provides the perfect preparation for next week’s crucial European tour, when Namibia will take on the Netherlands and Nepal in the World Cricket League Division 2 series.
On Monday, Vidarbha amassed 296 for nine wickets off their 50 overs with Rathod Yash scoring 71 and Kadam Yash 50, while Nicol Loftie-Eaton was the pick of Namibia’s bowlers, taking four wickets for 18 runs.
In reply, Namibia lost two early wickets with Michael van Lingen dismissed for seven and Alexander Volschenk for four, but Jan Frylinck and Louren Steenkamp put them in charge with a century partnership.
