(Last 10 match)

The pitch at the Namibia Cricket Ground generally offers a good balance between bat and ball, making it ideal for competitive T20 matches. In the early stages, fast bowlers get assistance from the surface with bounce and some seam movement. However, once the ball softens and batters settle in, the true bounce and decent carry allow stroke makers to play their shots freely. As the game progresses, spinners may find slight grip, particularly if the pitch is dry. The outfield is quick, and short square boundaries often encourage aggressive batting. A par score here is in the range of 160–175, though teams batting first may aim for 180+ to stay safe. Chasing can be tricky, especially under lights if the pitch slows down. Winning the toss could play a crucial role, with most captains preferring to bat first and set a target.
