Zimbabwe are poised to face Namibia in an electrifying showdown at the ICC U-19 World Cup 2024. The encounter is slated to take place at Diamond Oval in Kimberley on Saturday.
While Zimbabwe lost their previous encounter at the hands of Australia by a heavy margin of 225 runs, Namibia faced a 77-run defeat against Sri Lanka.
The Diamond Oval’s playing surface often provides favourable conditions for both pace and spin bowlers, particularly in the early stages with the new ball. Batters can anticipate a consistent bounce, setting the stage for a potentially closely contested and high-scoring match. Teams that find success on this pitch may consider opting to bat first, with the objective of setting a substantial total on the scoreboard.
