Namibia have won the toss and have opted to field
08:37 Local Time, 06:37 GMT, 12:07 IST: Hello and welcome, everyone, to live coverage of the 4th ODI between Namibia and Ireland! The hosts hold a 2-1 lead in this 5-match series and have a chance to seal a landmark series victory today. Ireland have had their struggles on this tour, but they'll be desperate to bounce back and force a decider. In the last game, Jan Frylinck’s superb 126 laid the foundation for Namibia's mammoth 316, before their bowling attack closed out a convincing win. Ireland did see a brilliant hundred from Curtis Campher, but he ran out of partners as Namibia's main men, Scholtz, Brassell, and Trumpelmann, picked up two wickets apiece. Can Ireland level the series, or will Namibia take it all today? Stay tuned as we bring you the toss and official team news!
