NAM vs SA: Ground Pitch Report
The wicket at Windhoek is pretty good for batting. It was quite visible in the tri-series, where the last two games produced above 200 runs. However, there will be some help for the fast bowlers early on, and spinners will get purchase in the lateral stages of the game.

Namibia: Zane Green (wk), Junior Taanyanda, Jan Frylinck, Gerhard Erasmus (c), Jan-Nicol Loftie-Eaton, JJ Smit, Louren Steenkamp, Ruben Trumpelmann, Ben Scholtz, JC Balt, Max Heingo.
