Australia will look to cement their place in the Super Eights stage of the T20 World Cup by toppling Namibia on Wednesday morning AEST in Antigua.
The two countries have met at international level only once before – an ODI at the 2003 World Cup in South Africa, where Glenn McGrath claimed record marks of 7-15 – but Namibia’s national side has improved dramatically in the 21 years since.
