Namibia and Hong Kong will clash in the third and final ODI of the three-match series on Sunday at the United Cricket Club Ground in Windhoek, Namibia.
Namibia have already sealed the series after winning the first two games of the series. They beat Hong Kong by a massive 162 runs in the second ODI.
Opener Lohan Louwrens gave the side a good start with 63 runs off 60 deliveries. Skipper Gerhard Erasmus (35) and Nicol Loftie-Eaton (80) then put up a solid partnership in the middle. The side posted a match-winning total of 280/9 on the board from their fifty overs.
Haroon Arshad was the pick of the bowlers for Hong Kong as he picked up four wickets. However, they could not contain the batters from scoring runs throughout the innings.
In reply, Hong Kong were never in the chase as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. No batter barring Aditya Gorawara (35) could make a significant contribution. They failed to string in partnerships and were bowled out for just 118.
Namibia once again put up a brilliant effort with the ball. JJ Smit, Pikky Ya France and Nicol Loftie-Eaton picked up two wickets apiece.

The pitch at this venue is expected to be batting-friendly. However, the fast bowlers will find some assistance off the surface and the batters will need to be careful early on.
Once they get well set, the batters can play their shots freely. Any score around the 200-250 mark in the first innings should be a good total to defend. The team winning the toss should look to bat first and put runs on the board.
Namibia vs Hong Kong Weather Forecast
