- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 Strikes first ball! A peach to begin Namibia's T20 World Cup campaign. The perfect left-arm fast bowler's dismissal. Full and straight on middle and leg, just swinging in late a touch. Prajapati looks to flick it across but is done in by the inswing, late one that. Gets rapped low on the front pad. The umpire did not have to be convinced a lot. Raises his finger immediately and Trumpelmann is off the mark in this T20 World Cup! Prajapati chats with his partner about the review but has been sent walking 0/12.3 A third for rockstar Trumpelmann! Bowls the hard length outside off from around the wicket, despite getting enough swing from over the wicket in the previous over. Khushi is in an attacking mode and looks to take him on. He looks to loft it over the ring on the off side but the bounce is good on this Bridgetown surface. Gets a tad big on him, lobs a catch to mid-off from high of his bat 10/30.2 Toe-crusher, and that is as plumb as it gets! What a start for Trumpelmann and Namibia. He's rocking the long mane and has a new look, with the head-band on, but the menace with the new ball from left-arm over the wicket to the right-hander stays. Spears it full and straight on middle, and it hits Ilyas full on the front leg, even before he could dig it out. A review wasted as well for Oman 0/26.3 Trapped him! Scholtz gets the big man Maqsood, who reviews. Tossed up outside off, fullish length, it spins back in. Maqsood looks to whip it across the line with the spin but perhaps it spins in more than he anticipated. Gets beaten on the inside edge and is struck on the back leg that is in front of the stumps. Three reds on Ball-Tracker and Oman lose both their reviews 37/417.2 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 95/711.6 Erasmus gets on the board and celebrations are back in the Namibia camp. Ayaan's adventurousness does not pay off. Charges down to bash it over the bowler, but he is done in by the flight and the lack of pace in it. Skies it high and long-off settles under it 68/515.1 Prolonged appeal and Erasmus gets the decision in his favour. Nadeem wants to review but Oman have none left. Erasmus lands it on a length and spins it in just a touch, beating the batter on the inside edge and rapping him o the front pad. The only question was if it pitched in line. Looks to be the case and a good decision that from umpire Joel Wilson. Three reds, shows the Hawk-Eye 78/617.4 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 96/819.4 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 109 109/1018.3 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.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 through the gates! Pitched up around off. van Lingen tries to drive, but the ball takes the inside edge, and rattles his stumps. 0/18.3 falls next ball! And Ilyas picks up the wicket right away. Davin tries to hit the bowler straight down again, but this time holes out to long off. Bowler floats it a bit wider outside off, and the legbreak forces a total mis-hit from Davin 42/219.1 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! 105/514.3 the squeeze is working! Length ball outside off. Erasmus tries to flat-bat an aggressive shot over long on, but it doesn't have the elevation or the distance! Taken in the deep 73/317.3 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. 96/419.3 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.
