Short of players, a nine-man Australia needed as many as four support staff members on the field, including chief selector and head coach, in their T20 World Cup 2024 warm-up against Namibia but that did not change the expected outcome of the game.
Australia won the game by seven wickets with impressive performances from David Warner (54 not out off 21 balls), fit again Josh Hazlewood (2/5) and leg-spinner Adam Zampa (3/25). They chased down Namibia`s 119 with 10 overs to spare in the T20 World Cup 2024 warm-up.
