The match between Oman and Namibia at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Qualifier was a nail-biting affair, with Oman eventually emerging victorious by 6 runs. Namibian batsman Lungameni put up a good fight, hitting a four to square of the wicket and then another one to fine leg off Fayyaz Butt. However, it wasn't enough to secure a win as Oman's Fayyaz Butt took another wicket and restricted Namibia's Ben Shikongo to just 1 run. Oman's win has given them a strong chance of qualifying for the T20 World Cup.
Namibia's Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton set a new record for the fastest century in T20I history, scoring it off just 33 deliveries against Nepal. This helped his team qualify for the 2024 T20 World Cup, making them the first team from the Africa Region Qualifier to do so. Meanwhile, UAE's win over Namibia also led to Netherlands qualifying for the Super-12 stage of the T20 World Cup 2022.
