END OF OVER:
1 | NAM: 21/0

Trumpelmann could have been another choice considering his four-wicket haul in the game proper. But he is seen miming throws from the deep, which suggests he is going to be fielding. Namibia choose experience again, with Wiese at the fore

Wiese and Erasmus have done just what Namibia would have wanted, but it is only job half-done especially for Wiese. He is seen selecting the ball, for he is going to be delivering it for Namibia. He has not even taken his pads off yet!

Bilal Khan to Erasmus, FOUR, Squeezes it away! The Super Over has gone to plan for Namibia. Once again Bilal nails the yorker outside off. But Erasmus is sitting deep inside the crease. Jams his bat in time with an open face to play it wide of short third. Namibia manage 21!

END OF OVER:
1 | OMA: 10/1

12:30am The Great Escape for Namibia. They seemed to be in control. And then they seemed to panic. They almost fluffed it. Before they redeemed themselves. Wiese being at the forefront of it all. PIcked up three wickets in the game proper. Then turned up with the bat in the Super Over, before sealing it with the ball in the over that followed.

Spare a though for Oman, though. Their score of 109 did not seem par by any stretch. But they made a game of it. Ilyas and Ayaan applied the squeeze in the middle. But it was Mehran's spell that turned out to almost be magical for them. Three wickets for almost nothing, and that double-strike in the last over in the contest almost did it for them. The T20 World Cup is off to a cracking start!

That's all from us at ESPNcricinfo. On behalf of Sudarshanan, Sudeep and Ranjith, this is Sreshth saying bye! See you in a few hours for South Africa v Sri Lanka.

Gerhard Erasmus, winning captain: (Tricky pitch?) It was tough to sum it up and get momentum. We tried that with running between the wickets but you felt you needed that odd boundary. Unfortunately we couldn't do that, and we need to take accountability for that before the next game. (Jittery batting) It was a tough one on a tough wicket like that. It showed in the Super Over that if you put pressure there will be some scoring opportunity. (Super Over) We haven't had one in a competition game. Great to be part of. Winning a close game early breaks the duck and brings you into the tournament. Experienced everything in this game."

Aqib Ilyas, losing captain: (enjoyed the game?) Yeah we could've enjoyed the game if we would've won, but still results... you know... losing and winning is part of cricket. We were maybe 15-20 short. We had already discussed this wicket was on the turning side. That's where we short. (Super Over, had a plan?) I think Bilal is one of the best bowlers you can have in Associate and this level. But there are days where you plan and it doesn't execute. He was clear, we were clear, but maybe the ball was wet and he couldn't execute. Some days it is your day, some days it goes the opposite way."

David Wiese, the Player of the Match: "Aged a couple of years tonight. Don't have a lot of years left in me (laughs). Emotionally draining evening. (Batting and bowling in Super over) It helped that I had a feel of the game and knew if I get a few hits out in the Super Over .... then with the ball, felt like taking the ball and executing. Pitch was difficult, didn't play the way we thought. But we adapted well. It was two-paced, it was a difficult wicket to get yourself in. Definitely one you needed to spend a bit of time before capitalising. (Target) Difficult to gauge a good target because if you're chasing 180 then you're playing differently. But when you let them bowl the way they did, you bring them back into the game. Lots of learnings from this game."
