Windhoek (Namibia)
Namibia booked their spot at the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup after guaranteeing a top-two finish in African qualifying with a game to spare at the Wanderers Cricket Ground, Windhoek, on Tuesday.
The Eagles secured a 58-run over Tanzania in Windhoek and sit top of the table with five wins from five after previous victories against Zimbabwe, Uganda, Rwanda and Kenya.
Next year’s 20-team tournament in the United States and the West Indies will be Namibia’s third consecutive appearance at the T20 World Cup.
The side reached Super 12 stage as first-time qualifiers in UAE in 2021
but then suffered a first round group-stage exit in Australia last year. Uganda, Kenya and Zimbabwe remain in contention to secure second spot and join Namibia at the T20 World Cup next year, with Uganda facing Kenya on Wednesday.
Namibia, who will co-host the World Cup in 2027 alongside South Africa & Zimbabwe, finish their group campaign against Nigeria on Thursday.
