   Namibia Stuns South Africa in Tri-Series Opener

   Namibia secured an 18-run victory over South Africa in the opening match of the T20 International tri-series in Windhoek. Despite Dewald Brevis' valiant 75, the Proteas were restricted to 145/9 while chasing a target of 164. Namibia's bowlers, led by Ruben Trumpelmann (3/24) and JJ Smit (3/31), held their nerve to defend the total. Earlier, Namibia's opening pair of Jan Frylinck (60) and Louren Steenkamp (41) laid a solid foundation, sharing an 84-run partnership.

Both teams to score is the prediction.
