Australia’s fast bowlers, led by Hazlewood and Cummins, prevented Namibia from gaining any momentum in the PowerPlay, resulting in a score of 17/3. Zampa then took control in the middle overs, wreaking havoc on Namibia’s batting lineup. Despite Erasmus’ efforts towards the end, Namibia could only manage a total of 72 runs before being bowled out.
In response, Australia wasted no time in their chase, with Head and Warner aggressively scoring boundaries in the PowerPlay to swiftly reach 74/1 in just 5.4 overs. Travis Head’s unbeaten 34 ensured Australia’s victory with plenty of overs to spare.
Australia will now face Scotland in their next match in St Lucia, while Namibia will take on England in Antigua on June 15. Stay tuned for more exciting cricket action from these teams in the upcoming games.
