South Africa defeated Namibia 348-162 in a basketball match in South Africa on 9 September 2026. The victory extended the visitors' dominance over their neighbours in recent meetings.
South Africa had already beaten Namibia 228-217 on 4 September and 163-145 on 28 August, so this result continued the pattern. Namibia lost to South Africa in three of their last five matches, while the visitors won four of their last five games overall.
Namibia's recent form showed inconsistency — they beat South Africa 163-145 on 28 August but lost the next two encounters. Their last five results were a win, two losses, and two additional losses in this period. South Africa, meanwhile, won four of their last five, including a 205-157 victory over Zimbabwe on 6 September before this match.
The margin of 186 points was substantial. South Africa threw everything at it from the opening tip, while Namibia never really got into the rhythm they had shown in the earlier 163-145 win over the same opposition.
The result leaves South Africa with momentum after five games, with only one loss in that stretch. Namibia's record looks more fragile, having dropped three of their last five matches.
