The target of 110 may not be challenging for this Namibia line-up, but the pitch did not seem too conducive for strokeplay. Will Oman spring a surprise? Find out with soon with Sreshth taking over.

10:03pm Namibia were the favourites heading into this game and their bowling performance showed just why. Just one over that went for over ten. Wickets at the start, wickets at the end. A perfect squeeze in the middle. Pacers starting a party and spinners enjoying themselves in it. Superb show from Namibia and Oman are on the disadvantage at the halfway stage.

Rockstar Trumpelmann was the star of Namibia's bowling show. Sporting long, blonde locks, he ran in and made life uncomfortable for the batters. Struck twice in the first two balls to set the tone early and then picked one more in the powerplay before striking once at the death.

Bernard Scholtz: "What an atmosphere here in the Caribbean, everyone's excited. The pitch just held up a bit, stuck to good areas. Couldn't ask for more - two wickets in the first two balls. Trumpelmann used the conditions. [The pitch] is a bit sticky, we have to assess the start and play nice and positive. I am sure the batsmen will do their job."

Wiese to Shakeel Ahmed, OUT, All over! Short and wide outside off again, Shakeel backs away and slashes it straight to backward point. Wiese finishes with three as Oman are bowled out for 109

Wiese to Shakeel Ahmed, FOUR, Erasmus tries twice and does not succeed on both occasions. Shakeel treats Wiese as a fast offspinner and charges him to hit over covers. The Namibia skipper gives it the chase, slides and pulls the ball back but it still goes on with the momentum and makes contact with the boundary cushions

From Sampath: Oman's innings is the first-ever instance of six LBW dismissals in men's T20Is.

Trumpelmann to Kaleemullah, OUT, Trapped lbw! No need to review this, as the ump gives it straightaway. Length ball in line of the stumps, Kaleemullah gets across but misses his nudge. Hits him low on the front pad, fourth strike for Trumpelmann

Trumpelmann to Shakeel Ahmed, 1 run, Chaos! Rolls his fingers on the length ball outside off, Shakeel gets a thick outside edge to short third. He is ball-watching even as his partner comes almost to him for a run, is sent back. The short third fielder throws it to Trumpelmann, who has all the time in the world to take aim and hit the stumps at the bowler's end but he misses, eventually conceding a run

saroj nepal: "130 might be good total here oman have good pace bowling attack lead by bilal and good spin option" You think so? Against this Namibia line-up?

Wiese to Mehran Khan, OUT, LBW? Nope says the umpire, Wiese wants a review. Goes wide of the crease and angles a length ball in from outside off, Mehran looks to heave it across but completely misses it and is hit on the thigh pad of the back leg. Is height a factor? Not at all, three reds on the Hawk-Eye and Wiese exults as soon as he spots it on the big screen

Wiese to Khalid Kail, OUT, What a catch, Wiese! The big man's still got it. Goes pace on this time, on a length on off, and the surface helps him. Kail looks to force it back but the ball holds on the surface and he lobs it back. Wiese gets forward and low down in his follow-through and takes it with a tumble
