Canada’s T20 match against Namibia was again canceled due to inclement weather, marking the second such cancellation this week. Namibia had previously defeated Canada in a curtailed match. The teams will attempt to play again on the weekend, with weather concerns continuing to disrupt the series.
On March 21, 2025, inclement weather caused Canada’s T20 cricket match against Namibia to be canceled for the second time within the week, with no play possible on the day. The previous match, which was the series opener, was similarly abandoned. In a weather-shortened encounter, Namibia triumphed over Canada by three wickets on Wednesday, effectively making the most of their limited overs.
During the Wednesday match, Namibia chose to field after winning the toss. Canada, guided by 18-year-old Yuvraj Samra, scored 145 runs for eight wickets in their allotted 15 overs. Namibia’s Zane Green managed to secure the winning runs, scoring two off the last delivery bowled by Canadian Kaleem Sana, finishing Namibia’s innings at 146 runs for seven wickets.
Looking ahead, the teams are scheduled to compete again on the upcoming Saturday and Sunday in Windhoek, Namibia’s capital. The International Cricket Council (ICC) ranks Namibia at 15th in T20 play and Canada at 21st. Weather disruptions have also impacted Canada’s schedule during the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 tri-series in Namibia where two of their matches against the Netherlands were called off due to similar weather concerns.
Presently, Canada holds the third position out of eight teams in the World League standings with a record of 9 wins and 5 losses, alongside two matches ending without results. The Canadian cricket team continues to seek opportunities for play despite the unpredictable weather patterns.
In summary, the match between Canada and Namibia faced cancellation due to adverse weather conditions for the second time this week. Previous matches within the series have also been affected, highlighting ongoing challenges from weather in international cricket. As the teams prepare for rescheduled matches, Canada aims to maintain its third-place standing in the World League despite these obstacles.
