Zimbabwe beat Namibia by five runs in T20 tri-series
Zimbabwe edged Namibia by five runs through Brad Evans' final-over wickets in the T20 tri-series at Windhoek.
Zimbabwe defeated Namibia by five runs in a Twenty20 tri-series match in Windhoek on Saturday. Brad Evans took two wickets in the final over to restrict Namibia to 127 for nine after the hosts needed 133 to win.
Namibia had lost their first match against South Africa but recovered through a seventh-wicket partnership that nearly turned the game. Zimbabwe had earlier posted 132 for seven after winning the toss.
The result leaves all three teams, including South Africa, with one win from two matches each in the tri-series.

Zimbabwe's ability to defend a modest total against a side that just upset South Africa suggests their bowlers retain composure under pressure that their batting order still lacks.
