Saim Ayub c Zane Green b Jack Brassell 14 12 2 0 116.67

5.1

Jack Brassell to Saim Ayub, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Saim Ayub's luck finally runs out. Jack Brassell serves this full and outside off, keeping it away from the batter. Ayub, without any foot movement, just throws his bat at it. He only manages to get a thin outside edge behind, where Zane Green makes no mistake. It would have been a wide if he had left that ball. Another low score for Ayub in this World Cup, and Pakistan are 40/1 now.

Salman Agha (C) c Gerhard Erasmus b Jack Brassell 38 23 3 2 165.22

12.1

Jack Brassell to Salman Agha, OUT! CAUGHT! A soft dismissal. Jack Brassell strikes on his return to the attack. Salman Agha absolutely berates himself as he trudges off. Brassell bowls it on a length, outside off, Agha walks across the stumps and spots mid off being inside the circle. He looks to go over mid off with a straight bat and a high elbow but fails to get any elevation. Spoons it flat and straight to mid off, where Gerhard Erasmus gobbles it up.

Khawaja Nafay c & b Gerhard Erasmus 5 5 1 0 100

13.2

Gerhard Erasmus to Khawaja Nafay, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! A brief stay for Khawaja Nafay. Full and attacking the stumps, bowled from a yard behind the crease. Nafay gets down on a knee and goes hard on the slog sweep. He loses his shape in the process and a top edge is found. It is skied towards the mid on region. Erasmus turns around and goes after it. Keeps his eyes on the ball all the way through and snaffles it safely. A couple of quick wickets for Namibia.

Batting R B 4s 6s SR

Louren Steenkamp c Usman Khan b Mohammad Nawaz 23 22 3 1 104.55

6.5

Mohammad Nawaz to Louren Steenkamp, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust and Namibia are in deep trouble right now. Tossed up, on a length and aroud middle. This one grips a bit and turns away. Louren Steenkamp goes deep in the crease and looks to slog across the line and against the turn, instead of looking to hit down the ground. Steenkamp completely miscues it up in the air and the ball comes down to the right of the bowler. However, the keeper, Usman Khan, calls for it early and pouches it safely as well.

Jan Frylinck b Salman Mirza 9 11 1 0 81.82

4.1

Salman Mirza to Jan Frylinck, OUT! BOWLED! A bit of a relief in the Pakistan camp as Mirza provides the first breakthrough. He goes at pace, lands it full and attacks the stumps. Jan Frylinck shuffles to the leg side by exposing the stumps, attempts to carve it through the off side, but the ball nips and skids back in, beats the bat, and crashes into the stumps behind. A corker of a delivery from Mirza. Namibia are 32/1, chasing 200.

Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton run out (Salman Agha / Saim Ayub) 5 5 1 0 100

5.2

Saim Ayub to Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, OUT! JAN NICOLE LOFTIE-EATON IS RUN OUT! Seemed like a well-judged single to begin with but unfortunately for Namibia, it is a run out and they didn't need that one bit. Loftie-Eaton backs away early and Saim Ayub follows him with a flatter delivery from around the stumps. Loftie-Eaton taps it straight to extra cover and sets off for the single. Salman Agha picks it up and throws it to the bowler. Saim whips off the bails and the smart replay confirms that the batter is short of his crease. Namibia are now 39/2.

Gerhard Erasmus (C) c Usman Khan b Shadab Khan 7 6 1 0 116.67

7.3

Shadab Khan to Gerhard Erasmus, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! That's sharp work behind the stumps from Usman Khan. Just a regulation leg break from Shadab Khan, a few inches shorter than being full and just outside off. Gerhard Erasmus waits back to dab it fine but ends up deflecting it behind. Usman moves swiftly to his right and pouches it nicely. 32/0 has now become 49/4 for Namibia.

Alexander Volschenk st Usman Khan b Shadab Khan 20 20 1 1 100

12.3

Shadab Khan to Alexander Volschenk, OUT! STUMPED! Clever bowling from Shadab as he gets his second wicket. A perfect leg spinner wicket. A flighted, full delivery outside off, a teasing leg break that drifts away. Alexander steps out, looking to launch it downtown, but misses connecting as he loses his shape, trying to hit it too hard. Usman reacts instantly, collecting to his right and whipping the bails off in a flash. Alexander is caught short and Namibia are 79/5, chasing 200.

JJ Smit c Shadab Khan b Usman Tariq 9 13 0 0 69.23

13.1

Usman Tariq to JJ Smit, OUT! CAUGHT! Tariq strikes now. He holds the pause, sees the batter shuffle wide outside the off stump and follows the batter. Pitched on a length, outside off, cramping the batter for room as JJ Smit tries to drag it leg side with a slog sweep. Ends up badly mistiming it off the top edge. The ball spoons up over mid-wicket and Shadab Khan tracks back a few yards, keeps his eyes locked on the ball and takes a fine running catch. Namibia are 81/6.

Zane Green (W) c Saim Ayub b Shadab Khan 7 9 0 0 77.78

16.2

Shadab Khan to Zane Green, OUT! CAUGHT! Looked like a decent hit from Zane Green but that's a terrific catch in the deep from Saim Ayub. Shadab Khan tosses the ball up, full on middle and leg. Green sits down to sweep and batters it flat over backward square leg. Saim runs in from the deep and puts in a lunging dive to snaffle it with both hands. Difficult to pick it under the lights and the replays confirm that it is a fair catch. Namibia are now 8 down.

Ruben Trumpelmann b Usman Tariq 0 2 0 0 0

13.3

Usman Tariq to Ruben Trumpelmann, OUT! BOWLED! Totally outfoxed and Usman has his second wicket. Another googly, flighted above the eyeline of the batter. Full and around off, spins back in very sharply. Ruben Trumpelmann gets half forward to push it away, but is completely outplayed by the variation as the ball sneaks past his inside edge and crashes back onto the stumps. Looking at the replays, it is a bit different than a regular googly and Waqar Younis on air describes it as a carrom ball bowled in the form of a googly.

Willem Myburgh c Usman Khan b Usman Tariq 8 14 0 0 57.14

17.3

Usman Tariq to Willem Myburgh, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! That's it, it's all over for Namibia and Pakistan are officially through to the Super 8s, the final team to do so. Usman Tariq bowls this one a bit flatter and bowls it short and wide. Willem Myburgh goes for the cut but there's a bit of an extra bounce. He ends up edging it behind, where Usman Khan takes another sharp catch to his right. It is reviewed but UltraEdge confirms the thick edge and PAKISTAN WIN BY 102 RUNS.

Bernard Scholtz b Usman Tariq 1 2 0 0 50

17.1

Usman Tariq to Bernard Scholtz, OUT! TIMBER! Another wrong'un from Usman Tariq and he has three wickets to his name, just like Shadab Khan. Tariq brings out the googly, landing it slightly full and around off. Bernard Scholtz leans ahead to drive on the off side but is beaten in the flight. The ball turns back in to clatter into the middle stump and Pakistan are now just on wicket away from the win.
