Aussies come up against unfamiliar foe in 21-year first: T20 World Cup LIVE

Australia will be looking to cement its spot in the Super Eights stage of the T20 World Cup by toppling Namibia in Antogua on Wednesday morning AEST.

The two countries have only met once before at international level — an ODI during the 2003 World Cup in South Africa where Glenn McGrath claimed record figures of 7-15 — but Namibia’s national side has improved drastically in the 21 years since.
