Overview
- Ireland, which beat Namibia by 130 runs on Friday, levelled the five-match series at 2-2.
- Tim Tector scored 73 on his ODI debut and late-order hits from Curtis Campher and George Dockrell pushed Ireland to 298 for 8.
- Jai Moondra took 6 for 26 from 10 overs to finish with the best-ever ODI innings figures for an Ireland bowler, eclipsing Josh Little’s 6 for 36.
- The series will be decided in a fifth ODI in Windhoek on Sunday, November 1, with regular captain Paul Stirling ruled out by a broken finger and Lorcan Tucker standing in.
- Moondra, a 29-year-old who made his international debut for Ireland earlier this year, has quickly emerged as a frontline seamer and will shape Ireland’s attack for the decider.
