Milestone
That's all from the three-match T20I series between Zimbabwe and Namibia, folks. Namibia displayed good batting and bowling performance in the final match of the series and avoided the series whitewash. We hope you enjoyed our coverage. For now, it's me, Deepak Prakash, signing off on behalf of my colleagues, Pritam Dey, Zeeshan Naiyer and Aman. CHEERS!
Zimbabwe win the series 2-1. Skipper Sikandar Raza collects the trophy 🏆 and joins his teammates for the photographs.
Sikandar Raza (Zimbabwe Captain): "Quite happy with the overall performance in this series. I thought we have found a lot of answers to the questions which were asked. Personally it hurts that we lost today but credit to Namibia as well. I thought Jan Frylinck at the start and Trumpelmann in the end batted really well. 205 on that wicket certainly took us out of the game as well. So, we were not happy with the way we went about our business but I thought Namibia played really well today.
If you get 210 in the first game and then you win the 2nd game by 5 wickets and with 11 balls to spare chasing 170-odd and then have two batters set, I think you are backing yourselves to get 190-195 on that wicket. I think those two batters for Namibia were really clinical. Unfortunately we were not good with both bat and ball but still got 180. We need to work hard on all the departments as we don't have much time left.
The thing which has impressed me the most has been how well we have controlled the middle phase. That is something which has impressed me a lot. We bowled really well in the middle phase. We failed to take wickets in the middle overs in the series but took a lot versus Sri Lanka. In the first two games, the batting performance was really good as well.
I would want ourselves to be better in the powerplay with ball in hand. 5 out of 6 games we haven't done well with the ball. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't but 5 out of 6 is not a good data to have. That's something we want to be more clinical about.
(On the Bulawayo crowd) Thank you so much for coming out in numbers and supporting us. The banter, the cheers, the songs. We appreciate everything. It was nice to be back in Bulawayo."

Brian Bennett (Player of the Series): "Yes, definitely, getting a few runs in this series gives a confidence boost. But we’re staying level-headed, with a big tournament coming up next week, and hopefully we can carry this form into it as well. I just stick to my processes, watch the ball."

Jan Frylinck (Player of the Match): "I think it was just one of those days. I just went out there, expressed myself. We had a good chat yesterday. I wanted to back myself and luckily it turned out to be my day today.
It's amazing. We always play on conditions which are a little bit tricky. Coming here, playing on these wickets were amazing.
I think our boys are ready for next week."

Gerhard Erasmus (Namibia Captain): "Yeah, it’s obviously good to build some momentum going into the rest of this tour for us, taking that winning spirit to Harare. It’s been wonderful down here — the pitch has been excellent, the outfield superb, and all the facilities have been great during our stay. We gained a lot of experience against a strong Zimbabwean side, improved our skills, and that really showed today.
I guess it was about having a bit of freedom and the courage to express our skills, and he delivered that for us in the powerplay. He really set the boys alight, and we finished off well. With the ball, I think we just needed to be a little bit smarter. We’re well prepared for the qualifiers and excited about the challenge ahead."
