| 0.5 : 0.5: E Otieno to S Baard, FOUR! Full and on middle, Baard flicks it through square leg and the ball races away! |
| 0.6 : 0.6: E Otieno to S Baard, EDGED, FOUR, NO BALL! Multi-event delivery. Let us just change the order a bit because we shall describe as and how we got to know. A length ball outside off, Baard looks yo steer it to third man but the ball takes the outside edge and flies past the diving keeper, to his right and into the third man fence. |
| 1.2 : 1.2: S Ngoche to N Davin, FOUR! THWACK! Full and outside off, Davin gets down and mows a slog sweep. It is the longest part of the ground and hence does not go all the way. One bounce and into the fence. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: S Ngoche to N Davin, OUT! Caught! The captain has struck! Short and outside off, Davin goes back to cut but the ball comes on quicker, bounces extra and flies off the outside edge. It is a sharp chance to short third man and Elijah Otieno does not miss it. |
| 1.5 : 1.5: S Ngoche to JP Kotze, FOUR! Full and around off, Kotze gets down and plays a sweep through square leg! |
| 2.6 : 2.6: L Oluoch to JP Kotze, FOUR! Finally connects. A length ball, outside off, Kotze heaves this over mid on and gets a boundary. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: E Otieno to S Baard, FOUR! That is a wonderful shot. On a length outside off, Baard arches back and punches it in front of point for a boundary! |
| 4.2 : 4.2: S Ngoche to S Baard, FOUR! Nice shot. Tossed up on middle and leg, Baard plays a slog sweep over square leg for a boundary. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: S Ngoche to S Baard, FOUR! Poor delivery from Ngoche. Full toss on off, Baard lofts it over mid off for a boundary. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: L Oluoch to S Baard, FOUR! On a good length on middle, Baard looks to flick but gets an inside edge. It goes towards fine leg for a boundary. |
| 5.2 : 5.2: L Oluoch to S Baard, FOUR! Second boundary of the over. Excellent shot. Short and outside off, Baard makes room and cuts it hard through point for a boundary. 50 up for Namibia. |
| 7.2: N Odhiambo to S Baard, FOUR! Good shot. Short and outside off, Baard cuts it hard through point for a boundary. |
| 7.5 : 7.5: N Odhiambo to JP Kotze, FOUR! Second boundary of the over. Length delivery on middle, Kotze plays a slog sweep over square leg for a boundary. |
| 10.4 : 10.4: S Bhudia to JP Kotze, OUT! BOWLED! Bhudia gets his first wicket. Flighted delivery on off, Kotze looks to go for a slog sweep but misses it completely and gets bowled. |
| 11.3 : 11.3: R Patel to Z Green, OUT! RUN OUT! Namibia lose their third wicket. Flighted delivery on middle, Green looks to flick but gets hit on the pads. He goes for the run but Baard does not respond. It goes towards the off side. Aman Gandhi from third man fires a direct hit at the keeper's end and finds Zane Green short. |
| 12.6 : 12.6: C Obuya to S Baard, OUT! Caught! Baard departs after a fantastic knock. Fractionally a length between short and full, Baard gets down and looks to play the pull or sweep - not sure what - but he mistimes it straight to Nelson Odhiambo at short fine leg who takes it with a jump. Kenya will feel that they are right in this now. |
| 13.3 : 13.3: R Patel to G Erasmus, FOUR! Nice shot. Short delivery on middle, Erasmus pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 14.3: C Obuya to JJ Smit, SIX! Amazing shot. Short delivery on middle, Smit pulls it over square leg for a maximum. |
| 14.4 : 14.4: C Obuya to JJ Smit, OUT! RUN OUT! Short delivery on off, Smit cuts it towards point and sets off. Erasmus responded and Smit was ball watching. Lucas Oluoch fires a throw to Obuya who collects it and dislodges the bails. |
| 14.6 : 14.6: C Obuya to C Williams, FOUR! Nice shot. Short delivery on middle, Williams pulls it through square leg for a boundary. 14 runs and a wicket from the over. |
| 16.5 : 16.5: L Oluoch to G Erasmus, FOUR! Fine shot. Around middle, hit over the bowler for a boundary down the ground. |
| 17.4 : 17.4: S Ngoche to C Williams, SIX! Fine shot. Full and outside off, Williams backs away to the leg side, gets underneath this one and lofts this miles over long off! |
| 18.2 : 18.2: L Oluoch to G Erasmus, SIX! That is a terrific stroke. Full and around off, Erasmus gets down and paddles this into the terraces at fine leg! |
| 18.4 : 18.4: L Oluoch to C Williams, FOUR! TONK! He has hit that very well. A low full toss, around middle, Williams bends low and hammers it straight back over the bowler for a boundary! |
| 18.5 : 18.5: L Oluoch to C Williams, SIX! That is just a wonderful cricket shot. 30 runs have come in the last 11 balls. 150 UP FOR NAMIBIA. This third 50 has come in just 29 balls. A full toss, around off, Williams gets down and sweeps it over mid-wicket! |
| 19.2 : 19.2: E Otieno to G Erasmus, FOUR! Nicely done! 50-RUN STAND IS UP in 28 balls! Landed outside off, Erasmus looks to play the reverse pull, is cramped for room, but still manages to beat short third man by delaying his shot a bit! |
| 19.4 : 19.4: E Otieno to G Erasmus, SIX! Terrific batting. Full and around off, Erasmus gets down and sweeps this massively over mid-wicket! |
| 19.5 : 19.5: E Otieno to G Erasmus, FOUR! Cracking shot. Backs away, waits for the ball to land and then pulls this behind square leg! |
| 19.6 : 19.6: E Otieno to G Erasmus, NO BALL AND SIX! A high full toss, dipping a touch, Erasmus heaves this over mid-wicket for half a dozen! On looking at the ball in replays, it seems a harsh decision. That was not above the waist and was dipping. But Erasmus will not complain as he gets one more ball to complete his half century. |
| 0.6 : 0.6: Jan Frylinck to I Karim, FOUR! Nice way to end the over. Outside off, Karim punches this through the covers and gets a boundary! |
| 1.6: C Viljoen to I Karim, OUT! Mix-up and Karim is gone. There goes the first wicket. Around middle, slanting in, Irfan works it towards mid-wicket and sets off. But Gandhi is not much interested. Actually, there is some problem with the communication as well. Aman starts to run but then changes his mind. Now, what has happened is, Karim has seen that start from Gandhi and continued running. Then, he looked up again and saw Aman stationary. Too late. He had to turn and scamper back. By that tim |
| 2.6: Jan Frylinck to D Gondaria, FOUR! Cracking shot to end the over! Short and outside off, Gondaria cuts it through point and the ball races away! |
| 3.5 : 3.5: Ben Shikongo to A Gandhi, FOUR! Lovely shot. On a good length outside off, Gandhi punches this through point and the ball races away! |
| 5.1 : 5.1: C Viljoen to D Gondaria, OUT! CAUGHT! Soft dismissal. Short delivery on leg, Gondaria looks to pull but he is cramped for room. He gets a top edge and Viljoen himself goes for the catch and takes it nicely towards mid-wicket. |
| 6.6 : 6.6: B Scholtz to J Kundi, OUT! BOWLED! Kenya lose their third wicket. Flighted delivery on middle, Kundi comes down the track and looks to go for a big shot but misses it and gets bowled. 5 runs and a wicket have come from the over. |
| 8.5 : 8.5: B Scholtz to A Gandhi, OUT! BOWLED! Pinpoint accuracy. Short and around middle, Gandhi looks to pull but the ball does not bounce at all. Goes well beneath his bat and hits the timber. |
| 10.5: B Scholtz to C Obuya, OUT! CAUGHT! Flighted delivery on middle, Obuya comes down the track and lofts it over mid on but does not get the distance on it. It goes towards long on where JJ Smit takes a comfortable catch. |
| 12.1 : 12.1: B Scholtz to S Ngoche, OUT! LBW! The finger was raised very, very quickly. It was that plumb. Full and around middle, straightening a touch, Ngoche looks to sweep but misses and is hit on the pads. Scholtz turns around to appeal but the umpire's finger was up in a flash. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: Jan Frylinck to R Patel, SIX! What a shot. Comes down the track, gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts it over cover for a maximum! |
| 16.6 : 16.6: JJ Smit to N Odhiambo, OUT! Caught! Straight to the man. Full and wide outside off, Odhiambo reaches out and looks to go over cover. But he finds Nikolaas Davin to perfection at the boundary. |
| 17.1 : 17.1: Jan Frylinck to R Patel, FOUR! Nicely done. On a length outside off, Patel backs away and lofts it over cover! |
| 17.2 : 17.2: Jan Frylinck to R Patel, FOUR! Short and outside off, Rakep stands tall and punches it over point! |
| 17.3 : 17.3: Jan Frylinck to R Patel, FOUR! FANTASTIC! Patel is treating the sparse crowd to some entertaining shots here. Full and outside off, Rakep leans and drives this gloriously through the covers. A hat-trick! |
| 17.4 : 17.4: Jan Frylinck to R Patel, OUT! BOWLED! Perfect delivery. Patel backs a long way to the leg side and Frylinck targets the stumps. Full and gun barrel straight, Rakep misses his inside out shot. Timber. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: JJ Smit to S Bhudia, OUT! Caught! Catching practice. A length ball outside off, Bhudia looks to go over the infield but gets a massive top edge. Craig Williams at extra cover waits for the ball to come to him and takes it. A bit of a wobble at the end but safely taken. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: JJ Smit to E Otieno, OUT! BOWLED! That ends the innings. The ball is straight, on a length, Otieno looks to defend it towards third man but misses. Castled and that is it. NAMIBIA WIN BY 87 RUNS. |
