This has been a memorable T20I series, but particularly for Canada, it has been for all the wrong reasons. Coming into the five game series in the better form in this format, they have suffered two no results due to persistent rain but then lost the other two games by three wickets on Wednesday and ten wickets (DLS) on Saturday.
So Namibia have secured the series, coming into this game with an unassailable 2-0 lead, but they have only bowled 28 overs across the series! JJ Smit has been their standout performer and he will be in pole position to secure the Player of the Series award ahead of this fifth and final T20I.
Canada are a proud team who have progressed very well over recent years and even though the series is out of reach ahead of this match, we still expect them to put in an improved performance as they look to leave Namibia with a positive result.

Even the most optimistic Namibian cricket fan would not have thought it possible for their side to be arriving in Windhoek for the final game of the series with the chance of taking the series 3-0!
But that is exactly what the hosts can achieve if they secure another win over Canada, a team who they restricted to 42/7 in Saturday's 13 over per side game.
JJ Smit was the Player of the Match on Saturday after returning incredible figures of 4/9 from four overs and he could still end the series with three Player of the Match awards if he maintains his levels in this clash.
The opening batting pair of JP Kotze and Nikolaas Davin were all that were required in the fourth T20I but Namibia do have plenty of batting options throughout their line-up.

This series was meant to show the progress of Canadian cricket and up against a Namibian team in transition it looked like the perfect five game series for the north Americans.
However, a mixture of rain and poor performance mean that Canada have not reached the levels many expected of them but this game gives them the opportunity to depart Africa with their head's held high.
In order to do that, Canada need better returns from their opening pair of Aaron Johnson and Ajayveer Hundal who were able to produce zero runs between them on Saturday!
The bowling unit were unable to pick up a wicket in that game either but Kaleem Sana and Dilon Heyliger should have the talent to make inroads in this final fixture.

Similar to the other four games in the series, the weather conditions are forecast to be wet and cloudy across Sunday. It could well be that we have another reduced overs game.
This venue is never the easiest place to bat but the overhead conditions and moisture in the wicket has made it even more bowler friendly in this series. A par total is likely to be 125-130 in this fixture.
The two completed games in this series have been won by the team chasing so we predict that both captains will go out for the toss on Sunday with the intention of bowling first.
Canada came into the series with the momentum in this format and as the favourites but it is Namibia who have been too good in both completed games. Therefore, we are predicting another home victory to end the series.
