NAM vs SA 1st ODI Playing 11: Gerhard Erasmus-led Namibia will square off against Bjorn Fortuin-led South Africa in the 1st ODI match played at the Namibia Cricket Ground, Windhoek.

South Africa secured a win in the tri-series involving Zimbabwe and Namibia and has become familiar with the conditions.

However, they are set to face off in the ODI format for the first time. Namibia won the toss and opted to bowl.

Speaking at the toss, Jay Frylinck said, “It’s obviously a very big occasion; we’re all looking forward to it. It’s been a while since we played a full-member Test nation in an ODI. Really looking forward to the opportunity.”

“Obviously, T20 is a little bit of a different game. ODI is a longer format, but the mentality stays the same, looking to take the game on. But in saying that, this is also a very good prep for us heading into the USA. So we’ll be using these three games to tick all our boxes before that USA trip.”

Meanwhile Corbin Bosch said, “Yeah, this is a great opportunity. Namibia are playing, coming off some really good cricket, and I think it’s, as you said, it’s like a nice opportunity to get in, play some good hard cricket, especially leading into what is going to be an awesome summer. So I think it’s a great opportunity just to get some game time and, yeah, just enjoy myself out there in the field.
