Zimbabwe beat Namibia by five runs in T20 tri-series thriller

Zimbabwe defeated Namibia by five runs in a T20 tri-series match in Windhoek on August 30. Namibia had posted a competitive total but fell short in the final over after a strong seventh-wicket partnership threatened to take them to victory. Zimbabwe's bowlers held their nerve to defend the total.

Namibia came into the match after upsetting South Africa earlier in the tournament. Zimbabwe had lost their opening fixture against South Africa. The result keeps both teams in contention in the three-team series.

The match followed Namibia's surprise win over South Africa and Zimbabwe's defeat to the same opposition. The final match of the tri-series is scheduled for the coming days.
