Pikky Ya France was the pick of the bowlers for Namibia A with two wickets for 27 runs.

The hosts lost two quick wickets of Lo-handre Louwrens and Jan Balt in quick succession during their run-chase. But Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton and skipper Smith put on an unbeaten 143-run stand for the third wicket to seal the deal.

Wolves will now look to stage a comeback in the 50-over format.
