| 2.1 : 2.1: JJ Smit to T Ura, SIX! Hammered over the covers. A full ball around off, in the slot for Ura. He gets to the pitch of the ball and launches it over the long off region. Clean strike. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: JJ Smit to T Ura, OUT! Caught! Catch of the tournament. What a blinder this is from the skipper, Gerhard Erasmus. An absolute one-handed blinder. Full ball on middle and leg, Ura looks to loft it over the mid on fielder but the timing is not right. The ball goes high towards mid on. Erasmus runs behind, he thinks he may not reach there so he throws his right hand and gets the ball to stick. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: C Viljoen to A Vala, OUT! Caught! Wicket number 2 and it is skipper Vala who departs for five. Length ball on middle, Assad looks to turn it towards mid-wicket but the ball takes top edge and goes high in the air towards third man. Shikongo gets under the ball and gobbles it comfortably. |
| 5.5 : 5.5: Ben Shikongo to L Siaka, OUT! Caught! Wicket no. 3 inside the Powerplay. Short ball on middle, Siaka looks to pull but the ball goes straight down the throat of Davin at deep square leg. |
| 7.1 : 7.1: G Erasmus to C Amini, FOUR! Welcome to the bowling mr. Skipper. Full ball around off, Amini lofts this over the mid off region and into the fence. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: B Scholtz to S Bau, FOUR! Just short that one. Full ball on middle, Bau slog sweeps it towards deep square leg. The fielder there comes charging in to catch but the ball falls just short and goes to the fence. |
| 12.3: Z Groenewald to C Amini, FOUR! Innovative this from Amini. Full ball outside off, he gets in position and plays the reverse sweep to perfection. |
| 12.4 : 12.4: Z Groenewald to C Amini, EDGY FOUR! Flighted ball around off, Amini goes back to loft it over long off but gets a thick outside edge. Short third man fielder chases the ball but the ball wins the race to the fence. |
| 13.3 : 13.3: G Erasmus to C Amini, OUT! Stumped! The skipper strikes! Full ball outside off, Amini is trying to make room by going across the left stump. He misses his slash at the ball and the wicket keeper does the rest. 50-run stand is broken. |
| 14.5 : 14.5: B Scholtz to K Doriga, SIX! Massive. Full ball on the pads, Doriga skips down the track and slams it over long on fence. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: C Williams to S Bau, SIX! WOW! From the middle of the bat. Stand and deliver. Full ball around off, Bau clears his front leg and deposits the ball over the long on fence. |
| 16.1 : 16.1: JJ Smit to K Doriga, OUT! Doriga departs! Full ball outside off, Doriga looks to launch it over long off but finds the fielder the long off fielder. There was no power in the shot there. |
| 17.5 : 17.5: C Viljoen to N Vanua, EDGY FOUR! Vanua and PNG won't mind. Good length ball around off, Vanua swings hard but the ball takes the outside edge and goes to the third man fence. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: JJ Smit to N Vanua, Just over and a SIX! Another good length ball wide outside off, Vanua slaps it down the ground. He does not get the whole of it but Vanua has committed himself to the shot. The ball just about clears the man at long on and it goes for a maximum. |
| 1.2 : 1.2: J Kila to S Baard, FOUR! The sweep is on and he has played that. Fuller one around off, Baard lofts this one over the short fine leg fielder for one. |
| 1.4 : 1.4: J Kila to N Davin, OUT! TIMBER! PNG are off and running! An arm ball from Kila has done the trick for Papua New Guinea. This one is darted around off, it is angling in. Davin looks to smash it down the ground but misses the ball completely and it crashes into the stumps. Early blow for Namibia. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: N Pokana to JP Kotze, SIX! Brute power! Short of a length ball on middle and leg, Kotze rocks back and smashes this one over the square leg fence for a maximum. |
| 4.1 : 4.1: D Ravu to JP Kotze, SIX! Another maximum for Kotze! Short again on the leg side, Kotze goes onto the back foot and pulls this one over the backward square leg fence for a maximum. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: D Ravu to JP Kotze, FOUR! What a shot by Kotze! He is in some form here. Fuller one outside off, Kotze gets down on one knee and lifts this one over the square leg fielder inside the circle for a boundary. |
| 6.1 : 6.1: C Amini to JP Kotze, MISFIELD AND FOUR! What has Kila done here! Atrocious fielding. Full ball on off, Kotze gets down on one knee and sweeps this one towards deep backward square leg. Kila there gets down to field the ball but it goes from in between his legs. |
| 6.5 : 6.5: C Amini to JP Kotze, OUT! LBW! Kotze has been dismissed! A floated and full ball on middle and leg, almost a full toss. Kotze tries to sweep this one but misses to get hit on the pads. It looked plumb in front and the umpire straightaway raises his finger. |
| 8.1 : 8.1: C Amini to S Baard, FOUR! Reverse swept! Floated on off, Baard brings out the reverse sweep and smashes it through third man for a boundary. |
| 13.4 : 13.4: A Vala to S Baard, SIX! Just over the fielder. Full ball on middle, Baard flicks it to the deep mid-wicket fence where the fielder looks to catch but the ball evades him and goes to the fence. |
| 14.1 : 14.1: N Vanua to C Williams, OUT! Caught! Vanua strikes and the 38-run stand is broken. Full ball outside off, Williams drives it firmly but uppishly and straight to Assad Vala at cover. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: D Ravu to S Baard, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Damien Ravu has given an important breakthrough and Doniga can breathe a huge sigh of relief. Good length ball on off, Baard smashes it back towards the bowler. It is travelling at a good pace but also at a good height for Ravu to catch it and Damien holds on. That must have hurt him. Namibia need 50 off 28. |
| 17.1 : 17.1: N Vanua to G Erasmus, OUT! TIMBER! Corker of a yorker! Perfection from Vanua! Erasmus tries to make room and carve this one towards third man. Vanua bowls a perfect yorker on middle. Erasmus misses and Vanua hits. Looks like the final nail in Namibia's coffin. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: N Vanua to JJ Smit, SIX! Maximum for Namibia but it comes too little too late as PAPUA NEW GUINEA HAVE WON AND THEY PROGRESS TO THE FINAL of the ICC T20 World Cup Qualifiers. Full ball on middle, Smit smashes this over the long on fence. |
