Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur
No bowler has hurt Namibia more than A Dutt (Netherlands): 19 ODI wickets at 10.79 from 6 games, with a best of 6/34 at Kirtipur on 19 Feb 2024. No Namibian comes close: BM Scholtz (Namibia) has 11 at 12.18, though his economy rate of 2.39 is the tightest on either side.
The biggest single innings is the 135 off 62 balls by M Levitt (Netherlands) at Kirtipur on 29 Feb 2024, with 10 sixes. That innings drove the Dutch to 247/5, the biggest score between these sides. BFW de Leede (Netherlands) has picked up 3 player of the match awards, a fixture high, and nobody has topped his 97 at Utrecht (25 Jul 2026) in an ODI since 2003.
Namibia’s best performer is JN Frylinck, top of the T20I wicket list on 7 and twice player of the match.
Batting First, Chasing and Grounds
The numbers are small, so read them with care. The ODI split is 4 wins for teams batting first and 3 for chasers, and the first innings has averaged 197. In T20Is, chasers lead 3-2. Calling right has mattered in T20Is (4 of 5 decided games) far more than in ODIs (2 of 7).
Kirtipur’s Tribhuvan University ground has hosted 4 meetings, more than any other. Single games have also been played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi and the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Namibia’s lowest total is 106 all out at Windhoek on 7 Mar 2025, and they have not been bowled out in a T20I since their 96 at Dubai in Oct 2019.
