Blessing Muzarabani lbw b Ben Shikongo 6 (5)
OUT! L.B.W. Ben Shikongo to Blessing Muzarabani. Reverse Swing-In half volley, middle stump on the front foot working, hit pad. That's it. Namibia have won the final match of the series by 28 runs. Their bowlers put on an exceptional performance, with JJ Smit leading the charge, taking four crucial wickets. Gerhard Erasmus and Ruben Trumpelmann also played pivotal roles, each picking up two wickets. Zimbabwe's batters put up a valiant fight but ultimately fell short. Sean Williams played a commendable knock, top-scoring with 77 runs off 45 balls, while Tashinga Musekiwa chipped in with a useful 32 runs. However, Zimbabwe's downfall came as they lost wickets at regular intervals, preventing them from maintaining any real momentum. Jan Frylinck is the Player of the Match for his blistering batting performance earlier. Brian Bennett of Zimbabwe is awarded the Player of the Series for his batting efforts across the 3 game series.
