Namibia ranks 15th while Canada ranks 21st in ICC T20 standings. Adverse weather also impacted previous games in a recent tri-series.
In Windhoek, Canada’s T20 cricket match against Namibia was abandoned without a ball bowled on Tuesday due to persistent rain. This match was intended to kick off a series of five 20-over games between the two teams.
