Australia has entered the Super 8 of the T20I World Cup 2024. Australia has been triumphant in the tournament so far.

ICC No. 2 Team Australia has officially entered the Super 8 of the ICC Men’s T20I World Cup 2024 by defeating Namibia by 9 wickets in the recent clash.

After winning the toss, Australia decided to bowl first.

Namibia’s opening was poor. Michael van Lingen and Nikolaas Davin scored 10 runs off 10 balls and 2 runs off 7 balls respectively.

The Namibia captain, Gerhard Erasmus was the only run-scorer from the team. The all-rounder scored 36 runs off 43 balls and hit 1 six and 4 fours. Despite him, none of the batters could present a satisfactory score and add runs to the scoreboard for the team.

Namibia’s complete batting line-up collapsed against the deadly Australian bowling.

The player of the match, Adam Zampa took his 100th T20I wicket and became the first Australian bowler to take 100 T20I wickets. Adam didn’t let any batsmen stay longer on the pitch by taking 4 essential wickets from Zane Green, David Wiese, Ruben Trumpelmann, and Bernard Scholtz.

Every Australian bowler took a wicket. Hazlewood, Stoinis, Cummins, and Nathan took 2, 2, 1 and 1 wicket respectively.

Eventually, Namibia had to bow down against the Australian bowlers at just 72 runs. The team got whitewashed in 17 overs.

The target score was easy for Australia to achieve.

Australian batters finished the match in 5.4 overs at the loss of 1 wicket (David Warner, 20 runs off 8 balls). Travis Head, just like every time, played explosively and scored 34 runs off 17 balls with a strike rate of 200.00, making the audience travel back in memory of IPL 2024.

Australia finished the AUS vs NAM T20 in spick and span.
