After the first three ODIs, each team had won one match.[5] The UAE then beat Namibia by eight wickets in the fourth match of the series.[6]
Oman's match against the UAE on 11 January 2020 was cancelled following the death of Qaboos bin Said, the Sultan of Oman, who had died the previous day.[7] The International Cricket Council (ICC) also confirmed that the final match of the series, between Oman and Namibia, would also not go ahead, with points not awarded for the two abandoned matches.[8] The ICC looked at the possibility of playing the two matches at a later date,[9] with the fixtures included in the 8th round of the tournament in November and December 2021.[10]
