The Capricorn Eagles won the toss and chose to bat first but Uganda had other ideas as they kept taking wickets. At one point, the Namibian team members found themselves four wickets down for 47 runs.

Ugandan bowlers continued taking more wickets and restricted Namibia from putting up decent partnerships.

It was a day to forget for the Capricorn Eagles players as their batting did not go according to plan.

And as Uganda kept picking holes in the Capricorn Eagles' batting more wickets fell to leave the host at 94 all out.

The CEO of Cricket Namibia, Johan Muller, said the level of cricket, which was displayed at the ICC Cricket World Cup qualifier play-off was of high quality.

The Richelieu Eagles hosted Canada, Jersey, Papa New Guinea, the United Arab Emirates and the United States of America in a two week tournament of which the top two teams go through to the next qualifying phase in Zimbabwe in June.

Co-hosting the 2027 International Cricket Council's World Cup could have a massive impact on Namibia's economy. 

This can, however, only be achieved if the country's facilities are upgraded timely as per ICC standards.

This was explained by ICC Chairperson Greg Barclay during his recent visit to Namibia.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced in 2021 that Namibia will co-host the ICC Men's World Cup in 2027, together with neighbouring South Africa and Zimbabwe.

The CEO of Cricket Namibia says Namibia is lucky to have been selected among the countries to feature on the 2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Trophy Tour.
