Giant-killer Namibia will look to continue their winning streak on Tuesday (October 18) when they face the Netherlands in the second Group A match in Geelong. Namibia defeated Asia Cup 2022 champions Sri Lanka in their opening match on Sunday, while the Dutch beat UAE in their first match as well.
Captain Gerhard Erasmus attributed the victory to the efforts of Coach de Bruyne over the four years. De Bruyne said he wanted like-minded people to help him with his coaching and found Albie Morkel to be a perfect ally. “Yeah, when I started in 2019, there was a priority for me, and that was to get the right person next to me, and I then approached Albie (Morkel). He had just retired, and we had been teammates for many years, and this is a man I recognized that I knew would complement my style and also live up to the standards I lived by. I believe So Albie has been with me on this journey, on this journey, and he's played a big part in helping me — he's not even full-time. Then this year I identified Morne (Morkel), and I believe Morne lives in Australia and the experience he has got as a fast bowler, I wanted him to work with my bowling unit, and this That T20 series began in Zimbabwe in May, and he has made a huge impact as a bowling coach. Then Justin Kemp too; He's not here with us, but he was with me more full-time as an assistant coach in Namibia," De Bruyne said.
