Pretorius Named Top Batter as Proteas Win Namibia Tri-Series
Lhuan-dre Pretorius was named Batter of the Tournament at the Namibia T20I Tri-Series after amassing 226 runs across the competition. The left-handed batter's standout performances included a rapid 94 against Zimbabwe and a century against host nation Namibia. His century came during a match in which South Africa posted a total of 228-4 against Namibia, with Pretorius scoring 101 to anchor the innings. Despite this strong form, a groin injury forced him to sit out the final against Zimbabwe. Nevertheless, his contributions earlier in the tournament were sufficient to earn him the batting accolade. Pretorius ended the tournament tied on 226 runs with Dewald Brevis, who was named Player of the Tournament, as South Africa's Proteas went on to win the overall title.
