In a stunning cricket match held in Namibia, the Namibian national team achieved a historic victory by defeating South Africa with a 4-wicket win. This match marked Namibia’s first-ever win over the Proteas, South Africa’s cricket team. The game took place during a one-off T20 international, which was the first official meeting between these neighboring countries in this format.
The victory was described as a major upset, given South Africa’s strong cricket history and status as a full-member nation in international cricket. Namibia has now recorded four wins against full-member countries in T20 internationals, including earlier wins against:
- Ireland

South Africa batted first in the match, but Namibia’s chase proved successful, led by impressive performances from their players. The win brings significant pride to Namibia and shakes up expectations in African cricket competitions, showing that Associate nations can compete strongly against established teams.
The match attracted widespread attention and is seen as a milestone moment for cricket in Namibia and for African sport more broadly. The result could inspire young players across the continent and boost cricket development programs.
