Reeling at the bottom of the points table, Canada will next face the hosts Namibia in the 9th match of the competition which will be played at the United Cricket Club Ground in Windhoek. Canada’s hopes of finishing among the top four are looking bleak as of now.
However, things are pretty much the different for Namibia as they are looking strong on the course of regaining their ODI status. From the two matches, they have played so far, they have won their opening game of the season against Papua New Guinea by 3 wickets but lost a really tight contest against the United States of America by 2 runs in the following match.
Canada can’t afford one more loss here otherwise their campaign for this competition will start fading and the confidence which is required here will be eluded from them. It would be interesting to see if Canada can make a strong comeback in this game.
