There would be cloudy skies over Harare. The pitch will be a tough one to bat on. Batsmen will have to be cautious in their approach and play patiently. The average first-inning score is just above 155 runs, and the team batting first would be happy to have 180 runs on the board.

The pitch at Harare Sports Club is slow, which creates problems for the batsmen. The large outfield is also a challenge. Most players are used to playing in smaller parks in this format. There is early assistance for the fast bowlers, and spinners have done well as the ball tends to stop on the batsmen, creating doubts in their minds.
The track is dual-paced, and batting against the spinners is difficult. Batting won't be easy here at the start of the game, and chasing the score puts the team at an advantage in rain-affected contests. The side winning the toss here would like to bowl first.
Kenya has struggled in recent games, and it is the batting lineup that has let the team down on most occasions. They need a strong performance from the top and the middle order to trouble their opponents. Namibia will start as the favorites in this game. They have firepower in the batting lineup and shall start ahead in this game.
