3:09 PM IST Earlier in the inning, after being asked to bat first, Namibia set a competitive total. Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton topped the order with a swift 47, with the help of Malan Kruger, who also scored a hefty 45 runs, giving a good start to the team despite losing an early wicket. The bowlers of the Chevrons bowled well in patches and an excellent last over, where Brad Evans gave just 5, helped Zimbabwe restrict the Namibian total to under 170.

3:07 PM IST However, following the first dismissal of the Chevrons, Tadiwanashe Marumani seized the moment, stepping into Bennett's role and unleashing an aggressive assault on the Namibian bowlers. His fearless approach kept the opposition distant from regaining its footing. Just as he reached his impressive consecutive half-century, JJ Smit made a pivotal impact by securing an essential breakthrough. Although Namibia began to take wickets thereafter, their efforts were too little, too late, as the damage had already been inflicted. Ryan Burl ensured that the innings concluded on a high note, wrapping up a commanding display by the team.

3:06 PM IST Tadiwanashe Marumani is the Player of the Match for scoring 50 runs off 36 deliveries.

3:05 PM IST Brian Bennett and Tadiwanashe Marumani entered the field determined to put pressure on the bowlers from the outset. Brian Bennett showcased his impeccable stroke play, while Tadiwanashe Marumani took a more measured approach to settle into the match. Together, they built a formidable partnership, scoring 59 runs in just 36 deliveries. However, just as Brian Bennett was becoming a serious threat, Ruben Trumpelmann struck, removing the Zimbabwean opener.

3:04 PM IST The series is done and dusted with a game to spare as Zimbabwe cruised to their second victory in the second match of this three-match T20I series, winning by 5 wickets. The opening batters once again rose to the occasion, setting up the chase this time. They took full control of the game, leaving Namibia struggling to keep up.
