SA does the Lord’s work for Zimbabwe with a win over Namibia

SOUTH Africa did Zimbabwe a massive favour on Friday, beating hosts Namibia by 11 runs in the final round-robin match at Namibia Cricket Ground to send the Chevrons through to Sunday’s Tri-Series final without having to break a sweat.

Zimbabwe now face South Africa again in the decider after finishing second on four points, thanks entirely to the Proteas’ win at Namibia Cricket Ground. South Africa topped the standings on six points while Namibia anchored the table with two points.
