Canada-Namibia T20 Cricket Match Abandoned Due to Rain

The T20 cricket match between Canada and Namibia was abandoned without any play due to rain. This was to be the first of five matches, which will now be rescheduled across the following days. Both teams are ranked 15th and 21st respectively by the ICC, and weather interruptions have affected Canada’s recent matches as well.

The T20 cricket match between Canada and Namibia scheduled for Tuesday has been unfortunately cancelled without any play due to adverse weather conditions. This match was intended to be the first of a series of five 20-over encounters between the two nations. Both teams anticipate rescheduling the match for Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in Namibia’s capital.

Namibia currently occupies the 15th position in the ICC T20 rankings, whereas Canada is positioned at 21st. The recent ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 tri-series in Namibia also faced similar challenges, as Canada’s matches against the Netherlands, ranked 14th, were similarly affected by the weather and were abandoned on March 5 and 11.

Presently, Canada holds the third place in the World League standings, with a record of nine wins and five losses, alongside two no-result matches caused by weather disruptions.

This report was published by The Canadian Press on March 18, 2025.

The cancellation of the T20 match between Canada and Namibia emphasizes the challenges posed by weather in sports scheduling. Both teams remain hopeful to resume their series in the coming days, while Canada continues to compete in the ICC World League despite previous match cancellations. The situation highlights the resilience of local journalism in reporting such events during trying times.
