Namibia may have fought back yesterday, but that man Mawhire - with a fair amount of help from Graeme Cremer - did it again with the ball on the final day to make sure Provinces will leave Windhoek with at least one win under their belt. The margin of victory also gives Provinces a points boost in the SAA Provincial Challenge table, taking them to 3rd behind Griqualand West and Easterns - although Northerns and Gauteng have games in hand.

Following on, Nambia held on to score 331, led by a fighting 120 from Botha and 43 from LJ Burger. Once Provinces reached the lower order, though, the home side's resistance melted away, leaving Provinces a target of 100 to win. Tino Mawoyo and Friday Kasteni started the chase, although both fell before the end of play, and it fell to Cremer and Nyamuzinga to finish the chase.
Zimbabwe Provinces 339/6 decl (Chakabva 118*, Klazinga 2/46) & 102/2 (Cremer 35, Klazinga 1/20), Namibia 107 (AJ Burger 23, Mawhire 5/11) & 331 (Botha 120, Mawhire 3/23). Zimbabwe Provinces win by 8 wickets.
Scorecard below the cut. Next match: Namibia v Zimbabwe Provinces, SAA Provincial Cup (1-day match): 13 January, Windhoek.
