Rain first intervened in the match when Namibia were 74/2 in the 16th over. After keeping the players off the field for 50 minutes, the persistent showers finally yielded ground to the players. But just a little over nine overs after play had resumed, rain intervened for the second time. The covers were pulled out yet again and all precautions were taken to protect the pitch. After a futile wait for some time longer during the course of which the rain showed no sign of relenting, the match was finally awarded to the Zimbabweans. The 86-run win that Heath Streak's men earned from the match gave them four points.
