Namibia reached the final after topping the Group B table following three successive wins against Kenya, Uganda and Sierra Leone.

In the final clash against Group A's table-toppers and hosts Zimbabwe, Namibia's decision to field first worked well. Their bowlers restricted the home team to 114/5. However, Zimbabwe's bowlers then sealed the deal for their side, reducing Namibia to 64/9 to set up a 50-run win and subsequently sealing their spot in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier 2019 and ICC Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2020.
