Namibia Stuns Kenya in T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier Opener!

Harare, Zimbabwe - Namibia delivered a dominant performance against Kenya in their opening match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa Regional Final 2025. The match, held at the Harare Sports Club, saw Namibia post a formidable total of 241/5 in their 20 overs, leaving Kenya with a mountain to climb.

Ruben Trumpelmann's explosive hitting at the end of the innings propelled Namibia to their imposing score. The Kenyan bowlers struggled to contain the Namibian batsmen, with Lucas Ndandason's final over proving particularly expensive.

Earlier in the day, Kenya won the toss and elected to bowl, a decision they may now be regretting. Namibia's batsmen built a solid foundation, setting the stage for the late-innings fireworks.

Key Moments:

• Namibia's strong batting performance throughout the innings.
• Ruben Trumpelmann's late-order hitting.
• Kenya's bowlers struggling to contain the run flow.

With this commanding victory, Namibia has set a strong marker in Group A. Kenya will need to regroup quickly if they hope to progress to the semi-finals. The tournament promises more exciting cricket as teams battle for a place in the 2026 T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.

What's Next?

Kenya will need to bounce back quickly in their next match. Namibia, on the other hand, will look to maintain their momentum and secure their place in the knockout stages. Stay tuned for more updates from the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa Regional Final 2025!
