Here's Sudarshanan again to call this super over. Oh what a game it has been!

hbina: "Unpopular opinion, there shouldn't be super over in group matches. Tie is a result too" -- I suppose. On some days neither team should go home as the losing side.

11.47pm Oman are jubilant that they've managed to drag this game into a super over but they'll know they have the momentum and could actually end up winning this game. Namibia will bat first now in the super over.

The last Super Over at the T20 World Cup was in 2012 between New Zealand and West Indies.

MAB: "Defending 5 runs in a T20 on any wicket in the world is an incredible performance. Amazing cricket."

Zaeb Ansari: "Early to call, but this world cup could well be in two parts , low scoring thrillers in Caribbean leg, and high scoring colorful matches in USA leg."

Mehran Khan to Wiese, 1 bye, WE ARE GOING TO A SUPER OVER! Good length ball outside off. Ball takes extra bounce and Wiese can't cut. Keeper can't grab cleanly either, and the ball falls to his left. Wiese and Kruger run across and the keeper tries a reverse throw while diving. He misses, and Kruger completes the run. We finish on a tie.

Namibia need 2 off 1. A single will mean a super over. Expect the non-striker to run

Mehran Khan to Wiese, 2 runs, full ball on off and he creams the straightest of straight drives. Ball smashes into the stumps at the bowler's end and it ricochets away towards cover for a couple of runs. The stumps have probably saved a boundary there!

Four needed off two.

Mehran Khan to Kruger, 1 run, Kruger gets Wiese on strike with a single. Full ball outside off and pushed to cover's left

Subrata: "Rooting for Oman from Philadelphia.. "

Mehran Khan to Green, OUT, O man, Oman are in this! Green tries to play a cheeky leg-side scoop over short fine leg but he misses. Mehran's full ball on off stump hits him on the pad and the umpire gives him out LBW. Namibia review. Crashing into the stumps!

ZE Green lbw b Mehran Khan 0 (2m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Five needed off four balls!

Ameer Abdullah: "This world cup is going to be one of the best ever. 20 teams doing their best to show the world what can they do. Any team has the asset to upset any other. A good month of cricket ahead."

Mehran Khan to Green, no run, and it is a dot ball! Green makes room at first but then returns to his normal stance as Mehran bowls a full ball outside off. Green attempts to ramp it over short-third but misses

New batter on strike.

bhaskar: "@Jayant personally, will take 140-150 games over 220-230 any day."

Mehran Khan to Frylinck, OUT, oh my days! More drama! Around the stumps. Full ball on middle and leg. Frylinck tries to clip it leg side but the hits his pad, and then it ricochets onto the stumps!

JN Frylinck b Mehran Khan 45 (77m 48b 6x4 0x6) SR: 93.75

Final over. Five needed to win. Four for a super over. Mehran, economy of 2 tonight, will bowl.

Bilal Khan to Wiese, SIX, just clears wide long on! Length ball around leg stump and Wiese backs himself to clear the boundary with a big shot. Even though the timing isn't perfect, he targets the shortest boundary of this ground, and Aayan's attempt is futile.

West Indies found themselves in a similar position earlier in the morning game, but the experience of Chase and Russell took them through. Namibia need Frylinck and ideally Wiese to stay there till the winning runs are hit

Mehran Khan to Wiese, no run, good length ball on a fourth-stump line. The cut is hit well, but straight to the man lurking at point. Namibia need 14 off 12

Jayant Isswani : "Are all the matches in Carribbean going to be a struggle for batters to reach 140?" -- Appears so after 2 games but let's see how the other venues stack up

Mehran Khan to Wiese, no run, full ball wide outside off, but inside the tram-lines. The ball barely bounces and dribbles through to the keeper

Mehran Khan to Smit, OUT, twist? Perhaps not given Frylinck is still out there. But some Oman flags flutter as Smit holes out at long on. Variable bounce again as Smith tries to club Mehran for a big-shot, however it comes off the top-half of the bat.

JJ Smit c Ayaan Khan b Mehran Khan 8 (13m 12b 1x4 0x6) SR: 66.66

Mehran Khan to Smit, 4 byes, good length ball outside off. Tries to cut, but extra bounce forces an edge off the bat, and it flies past the keeper for four more!
