In one of the biggest upsets in recent times, Namibia defeated South Africa by 4 wickets on Saturday handing the Proteas their first loss to an associate nation. For Namibia, this was the fourth time they have beaten a full-member nation in T20Is after wins against Ireland, Zimbabwe, and Sri Lanka.
South Africa batted first and could only muster 134/8 in their allotted 20 overs with Jason Smith top scoring with 31 runs. Ruben Trumpelmann was the pick of the bowlers for Namibia snapping up 3 wickets for 28 runs.
Chasing, Namibia had lost 5 wickets before 100 runs but wicketkeeper Zane Green steadied the innings, smashing a 6 and a 4 in the last over to guide his team to a tense win.
