Inclement Weather Causes Cancellation of Canada-Namibia T20 Cricket Match
The T20 cricket match between Canada and Namibia was cancelled again due to inclement weather, marking the second abandonment this week. Namibia previously won a shortened match against Canada. The teams will attempt to play again on the weekend as both countries navigate challenging weather conditions and standings in international cricket.
In Windhoek, inclement weather has once again disrupted the T20 cricket match between Canada and Namibia. This marks the second cancellation within a week, following the abandonment of the series opener earlier in the week. Namibia managed to clinch a victory by three wickets on Wednesday in a match that was affected by weather conditions.
During the curtailed match, Namibia won the toss and chose to field first, resulting in Canada scoring 145 runs for eight wickets over 15 overs, with 18-year-old Yuvraj Samra contributing a standout 37 runs. Namibia successfully chased the target, reaching 146 runs for seven wickets after Zane Green’s crucial performance in the final over, where he scored nine runs.
The two teams are scheduled for further encounters this weekend in the Namibian capital. According to the International Cricket Council, Namibia holds the 15th rank in the world for T20 cricket, while Canada is positioned at 21st.
Weather-related issues have also impacted Canada’s participation in the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 tri-series in Namibia, where two matches against the Netherlands were canceled earlier this month. Currently, Canada occupies the third place in the eight-team World League table with a record of nine wins and five losses, including two no-results.
In summary, the adverse weather conditions have significantly hampered the T20 cricket series between Canada and Namibia, leading to multiple match cancellations. The teams will attempt to compete again this weekend, amidst Canada’s challenging journey in international cricket with varying results. This situation highlights the ongoing challenges posed by weather in the sport, particularly in the context of international play.
