Australia walloped Namibia by a huge margin at Antigua’s Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in match number 24 of the ongoing 2024 T20 World Cup.

The outcome boosted Australia’s net run-rate and helped them seal a spot for the Super Eight stage of the tournament.

Here’s the timeline of how AUS vs NAM panned out in Antigua:


AUS vs NAM Highlights: Hazlewood, Pat Cummins Shatter Namibia’s Top-Order

Opening the bowling in place of a rested Mitchell Starc, lanky Australian paceman Josh Hazlewood got rid of both Namibian openers in the first three overs of his new-ball spell. In both instances, it was Australia’s gun fielder Glenn Maxwell taking some sharp catches at backward point.

Pat Cummins also struck in his first over by dismissing number three batter Jan Frylinck as Namibia fell to 15-3 in 4.1 overs, and to 17-3 by the end of the opening powerplay.


AUS vs NAM Highlights: Adam Zampa Cuts Through Namibia Line-Up In Middle Overs

After Nathan Ellis trapped JJ Smit plumb in front to reduce Namibia to 18-4, Australian spin wizard Adam Zampa hacked through his opposition’s lower-order with four wickets in a single four-over spell to finish with figures of 4-12 as Namibia’s troubles worsened at 43-8.


AUS vs NAM Highlights: Captain Erasmus Accounts For Half Of Namibia’s 72

As Namibia slipped to 43-8, captain and number four batter Gerhard Erasmus cautiously ensured his team gained some respectability in the innings by adding a 29-run partnership with tailender Jack Brassell.

Erasmus himself crafted 36 runs from 43 balls to account for half of Namibia’s total before getting bested by Marcus Stoinis. The Australian all-rounder also dismissed number 11 Ben Shikongo later in the same over to envelop Namibia for just 72.


AUS vs NAM Highlights: David Warner Goes Bang Bang And Out!

Chasing 73 for a win, David Warner crashed three boundaries and a six in his first seven deliveries to race to an unbeaten 20 in just 1.3 overs.

However, in the fourth ball of the second over, the rampaging Australian opener once again decided to go downtown, only to be holed out by Ruben Trumpelmann off the bowling of David Wiese.


AUS vs NAM Highlights: Travis Head, Captain Marsh Seal The Game In 5.4 Overs

Following the early dismissal of David Warner (20 off eight) at 21-1, his opening partner Travis Head took the aggressive route to make short work of an already-easy target for Australia. The cricketer bashed Ben Shikongo with two boundaries and a six before shifting his focus to Ruben Trumpelmann.

Captain Mitchell Marsh, batting at number three, went 4,6,4 against Jack Brassell to steer Australia home in just 5.4 overs with nine wickets in hand.

The outcome marked Australia’s third win in succession this 2024 T20 World Cup, and helped them qualify for the Super Eights stage of the tournament.
