The first match of the Ireland Tour of Namibia 2026 is set to be played between the two teams on Thursday, October 22. The two teams will engage in a five-match series and will be looking to pick up an early advantage in the series.

Namibia’s last ODI assignment was their ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 clashes, where they finished the season fifth on the points table, just below the qualifying spots. They will be looking to put that disappointment behind them and put up a performance in the series.

Ireland are coming into this series off the back of a 4-0 series loss in the format to Afghanistan. They will be looking to bounce back from the poor showing and return with a substantial result and kick off the series on a big note.

No significant absences

The pitch is expected to play a balanced role for batting in the first innings, before slowing down a bit in the second innings.
