Australia vs. Namibia Live Score: Mitchell Marsh wins the toss in the 2024 T20 World Cup Australia and Namibia will square off in the opening game at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua.
Live score for today’s T20 World Cup 2024 match between Namibia and Australia: In the T20 World Cup encounter against Australia, at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua, Namibia shared a 72-run stand with the Australians, with skipper Gerhard Erasmus being one of the few batsmen in the country to reach double digits.
Namibia was never in the match, particularly after their side was eliminated for 21 runs. In the Group B encounter on Wednesday, Australia’s captain Mitchell Marsh won the toss and made the unhesitating decision to bowl first against Namibia. With their victory today, the 2021 winners—who started the competition with back-to-back victories over Oman and England and are presently second in their group—will advance to the Super 8 stage.
For Namibia, however, the situation has been uneventful thus far. Namibia defeated Oman in the Super Over in their first game, but the Gerald Erasmus-led team lost by five wickets against Scotland in their second encounter.
