The World Cup itself started on 10 February 2003 in Harare with Zimbabwe beating Namibia by 86 runs.[15] Back in South Africa, they lost to Pakistan by 171 runs,[16] before a 55 run defeat at the hands of England in which Namibia performed with some credit, Jan-Berrie Burger winning the man of the match award for his innings of 85 that almost helped Namibia pull off an unlikely upset.[17] They then lost by 181 runs to India[18] and a 256 run defeat against Australia,[19] the eventual winners of the tournament,[3] in what at the time was the biggest winning margin in One Day Internationals, since surpassed by an Indian 257 run win over Bermuda.[20] The tournament finished with a 64 run loss to fellow qualifiers the Netherlands.[21]
