The Women’s T20 Quadrangular Series in Namibia 2026 continues with an exciting contest as Namibia Women take on Tanzania Women in the second match of the tournament at the High-Performance Oval, Windhoek, on July 21, 2026 (Tuesday). The match is scheduled to begin at 5:30 PM IST.
Both teams will see this as a great chance to leave their recent form behind and start the tournament on a positive note. Namibia are coming into the competition after five straight defeats, while Tanzania have also lost their last five matches. A win in the opening game could give either side the confidence they need for the rest of the series.
The two teams have enjoyed a competitive rivalry over the last few years. Tanzania won their most recent meeting by eight wickets in November 2025, while Namibia had defeated them by eight wickets when they met two months earlier. Overall, both teams have shared wins in recent contests, so another close battle is expected.

Players to watch out:
Sune Wittmann

She has scored 1,699 runs in 101 WT20Is at a strike rate of 98.49, including nine half-centuries, with a highest score of 93 not out. She also makes a big difference with the ball. Wittmann has taken 53 wickets in WT20Is, with brilliant, best figures of 5/10. Her all-round ability makes her Namibia’s biggest match-winner.
Kayleen Green
Kayleen Green adds valuable experience to the Namibia side. In 109 WT20Is, she has scored 1,321 runs and picked up 83 wickets, making her one of the team’s most dependable all-round players. Her accurate bowling has been one of Namibia’s biggest strengths over the years, while her batting gives extra depth in the lower middle order.
Neema Pius
Captain Neema Pius will have an important role for Tanzania. She has scored 811 runs in 64 WT20Is, including two half-centuries, and has also taken 14 wickets. As wicketkeeper and captain, she brings plenty of experience to the side and will be expected to guide the team in both departments.
Hudaa Omary
Hudaa Omary has been one of Tanzania’s most reliable batters in international cricket. She has scored 1,001 runs in 72 WT20Is at an average of 21.29, including three half-centuries. If Tanzania are to put up a competitive total, they will hope Omary can provide a solid start at the top of the order.

Once the batters settle in, scoring becomes easier because of the quick outfield. The average first-innings score is around 126, while the average second-innings score is close to 103.
Weather:
The weather forecast looks excellent for cricket. Temperatures are expected to stay between 9°C and 22°C (48°F to 71°F) under mostly clear skies. There is no major chance of rain, and only light winds are expected throughout the day.
