While the win is great, we must remember this was against Namibia. The real test will be against teams like Australia or England in the knockouts. Hope the team doesn't get complacent. The bowling attack looks solid though.

Biggest win by runs as well! The fact that our previous best was against England makes it sweeter. The team is peaking at the right time. Bring on the next match! 💙

The middle order still seems a bit shaky, losing 9 wickets while posting 209. Against a top side, those collapses could be costly. But a win is a win! On to the next one.
