wots the use of a 3day match?

To provide Bangladesh with a warm up before their Zimbabwe tour, and to provide Namibia with experience of the longer form of the game.

yer but if you hardly get a result, there's no use really playing, cricketers play cricket to win, not to draw

Well, in the past most domestic cricket was made up of 3 day games, and most finished in a result.
A four day game would have been better, but Namibia need to be eased into the longer game gently.
And as far as Bangladesh are concerned, this game isn't competitive, it's just a warm-up game, so they're not concerned about getting a draw, just getting some batting and bowling practice.
