That's all from us here. Until next time, it's goodbye.

Ervine: Took us a bit of time to get used to the slowness of the pitches here. Credit to the boys.

Raza, POTM: The wicket wasn't as good as the other one. There was low bounce. 160 would've been hard to chase. Just wanted to spend some time, take ones and twos, and capitalise on loose balls. I try and pass on the knowledge to batters who bat with me and bowlers who bowl with me.

17:16 Local Time, 15:16 GMT, 20:46 IST: Zimbabwe go 2-1 up in the series after a comfortable win here. Sikandar Raza was the star in their chase once again, scoring a brisk fifty to ensure there were no jitters after being reduced to 43/2. The Zimbabwe bowlers had earlier done a superb job to restrict Namibia. Ngarava, in particular, was superb and very economical while the wickets were shared between five of them. Namibia could only put on a score of 138, and Zimbabwe chased it down with more than an over to spare.
