In the first semi-final, the Eagles at one point fell to 41/4 in the fifth over, before a counter-attacking 88-run stand in 7.4 overs between the experienced pair of JJ Smit and Gerhard Erasmus moved their side ahead.
Erasmus showed the cool that has helped his side become T20 World Cup regulars, finishing with 55 from 41 balls, while the “Smit can hit” chants were once again belted for JJ, who hit four sixes in his 61 not out from 43 deliveries.
The all-rounder then continued his assertive day with the ball, removing three of Tanzania’s top five to finish with 3/16 from his four overs, stifling the Tanzanian reply.
Namibia have now qualified for the last four Men’s T20 World Cups, and will look to emulate their Super 12 success in 2021.
