WINDHOEK – Canada’s T20 cricket match against Namibia was called off without a ball bowled due to rain Tuesday.
The game was supposed to be the first of five 20-over contests between the two. The teams will try again Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, all in the Namibia capital.
Namibia is ranked 15th in the world in T20 play by the International Cricket Council (ICC) while Canada is No. 21.
Weather was also a factor in the recent ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 tri-series hosted by Namibia. Canada’s two games against the 14th-ranked Netherlands on March 5 and 11 were both called off due to inclement weather.
Canada currently sits third in the eight-team World League table at 9-5 with two no-results.
