The Uganda cricket team toured Namibia in April 2021 to play a three-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series and two 50-over matches.[1][2] All of the matches were played at the Wanderers Cricket GroundinWindhoek.[3]
Namibia won the first T20I match on 3 April by seven wickets, with captain Gerhard Erasmus leading the chase with 62 not out from just 36 balls.[4] Two further victories for the hosts on 5 April, the first of which was rain affected, meant the hosts swept the T20I series 3–0.[5][6]
Namibia won the first 50-over match thanks to some powerful batting by JJ Smit and Michael Van Lingen in the second half of their innings, followed by a five-wicket haul for Ruben Trumpelmann which included the first four wickets of the Ugandan chase that had left the visitors on just 9/4.[7] Uganda recovered from a poor start to their run chase, led by a century for Ronak Patel, but were eventually all out 98 runs short of Namibia's total.[8] Namibia comfortably won the second match by 162 runs after openers Stephan Baard and Divan la Cock put on a partnership of 150 runs, Baard top scoring with 145 in the host's total of 355/9.[9]
Ugandan captain Brian Masaba missed the tour due to injury, with Arnold Otwani chosen to lead the side in his absence.[12]
