Namibia continue successful run in home series

The Capricorn Eagles have had a very successful run at the current Women’s T20 Quadrangular Series taking place in Windhoek. The team started their campaign with a 9 wicket victory against Tanzania before winning their first ever super over to beat Uganda after a tied game and then beating Hong Kong – China by 5 wickets. On Saturday the Eagles faced Tanzania for the second time, once again beating the visitors by 9 wickets, this time with 38 balls remaining. With Tanzania having won the toss and elected to bat first, Namibia restricted them to 96 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in their 20 overs. When it came time for Namibia to bat, captain Sune Wittman claimed the player-of-the-match accolade with her score of 56 runs off 46 balls. Fellow opener, Merczerly Gorases contributed 30 not out off of 35 balls, with Mekelaye Mwatile another 8 as the hosts successfully chased down the total in only 13.5 overs. Namibia will next face Uganda for the second time at 2pm today.
