• •South Africa secured a final spot in the tri-series after defeating Namibia by 11 runs.
• •Cricinfo reports Dwaine Pretorius scored 101 and Esterhuizen added 88 to set a 228-run target.
• •While the scorecard confirms the narrow margin, neither outlet clarified how the Namibian middle-order collapse unfolded during the final overs.
• •It remains uncertain how South Africa’s bowling unit will adjust for the upcoming final against Zimbabwe, given they conceded 217 runs to Namibia.

South Africa reached the tri-series final following a 228-run performance and an 11-run victory over Namibia. While Cricinfo emphasizes the individual centuries and contributions that built the total, the BBC Sport coverage centers primarily on the statistical scorecard of the Windhoek encounter. The narrow margin of victory highlights a defensive struggle for South Africa, who allowed Namibia to remain competitive until the final ball. Whether this bowling vulnerability can be rectified before the championship match against Zimbabwe remains the primary question.
