Overview
- South Africa wrapped up the three-match series with a nine-wicket win in the third ODI, chasing 157 and finishing 157 for 1 in 21.3 overs on Sunday in Windhoek.
- Left-arm spinner Bjorn Fortuin sparked Namibia’s collapse with career-best figures of 4 for 33 as the hosts were bowled out for 156, with Zane Green top-scoring on 33.
- Openers Jordan Hermann and Connor Esterhuizen put the game beyond doubt with a roughly 150-run opening stand; Hermann finished the series as the leading batter and was named Player of the Series.
- Duan Jansen was added to South Africa’s squad for the upcoming Australia ODIs after Ottneil Baartman suffered a left hamstring injury, and only six players from the Namibia tour will move on to face Australia.
- Organizers used the Windhoek fixtures to test bench depth, venue readiness and broadcast arrangements across FanCode, OneAfrica TV and SuperSport as part of preparations tied to World Cup planning.
