What It Means
The Victoria Series is a double round-robin, with each team meeting the other three twice. The top two sides after the round-robin stage qualify for the final, while the third- and fourth-placed teams contest a playoff for third place.
Cricket Namibia said the tour gives the Capricorn Eagles a chance to test themselves against international opposition and gain match experience. The side goes in after the Capricorn Eagles A won a six-match T20 series against Ireland U19 Women 4-2 at HP Oval in Windhoek, played from 25 to 31 October 2026. The board described that series as important preparation for the trip to Uganda and said the Victoria Series is a further chance to strengthen Namibia's presence in women's cricket.
