Jan Frylinck scored a century to help Namibia secure a 63-run victory over Ireland in the third ODI in Windhoek.
After winning the toss and deciding to bat, Namibia recovered from 81 for two as Frylinck made 126, with nine fours and four sixes, while captain Gerhard Erasmus contributed a swift 54 in the hosts’ 316 for seven.
Ireland’s run chase got off to a poor start as opener Cade Carmichael was out lbw for a duck to the fifth ball of the reply before Andrew Balbirnie (20) and Lorcan Tucker (26) both fell in successive deliveries.
Curtis Campher gave Ireland hope, reaching his second ODI century off just 82 balls before he was run out on 106. Ireland still needed 70 more but ended 253 all out as Namibia took the final three wickets to secure victory in 44.5 overs.
Victory gave Namibia a 2-1 lead in the five-match series, which continues on Friday.
