NAM vs SA Match

3:30 PM IST Qualification takes shape - We are down to the final game of the round-robin stage in what has been a highly competitive Tri-Series, with the final spots still to be decided. We could not have asked for much more going into the last game. Zimbabwe's win over Namibia has kept them alive in the competition, but given their poor net run rate, the realistic route to the final is for them to go through on points. For that to happen, the Chevrons will be hoping South Africa beat Namibia, which would see the hosts miss out on the final. Youth making a mark - After being stunned by Namibia in the campaign opener, the Proteas have responded well, putting together a couple of wins to get their campaign back on track. It has been a case of individual brilliance driving their batting efforts so far, with two young stars who have a long future ahead of them living up to their promise. Dewald Brevis and Lhuan-dre Pretorius have been the standout performers, while the Hermann brothers, Jordan and Rubin, are yet to make a significant impact, as is Connor Esterhuizen. A promising bowling unit - Having been handed the opportunity to lead this second-string Proteas side, Bjorn Fortuin has thrived in the role. He has picked up 7 wickets in 3 games while also being miserly with the ball. In his debut series, Duan Jansen has made a strong impression as well. He has made a case for himself for future assignments in this format. Prenelan Subrayen has also made his presence felt and complemented Fortuin nicely. More to follow...
