4.5 OUT! Colin Ackermann has the last laugh here. Netherlands lose their second wicket inside the Powerplay. It is tossed up, around middle, spinning away off the deck. Michael Van Lingen makes room and looks to clear the man at mid off. Although, he does not connect well and chips it just over mid off. Bas de Leede is required to do minimal work here to gather the catch and he does so with ease. 30/2

The ball though flies to long off off the top edge. Bas de Leede there takes a solid catch. Early success for Netherlands, just what they had envisioned. 4/1

5.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Netherlands on a roll here as they pick up a third wicket inside the Powerplay. Paul van Meekeren serves this one on a hard length again and just angles it across the left-hander. Nicol Loftie-Eaton stays back and just has a dab at it. The feet don't move and the outside edge is found. Scott Edwards behind the sticks makes no mistakes and Namibia in a spot of bother here. 32/3

18.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Bas de Leede goes for the off-cutter and bowls it full and outside off. Jan Frylinck hangs deep and looks to dispatch it over long on.

Paul van Meekeren makes no mistake and pouches it with ease. Jan Frylinck departs after a good knock. David Wiese walks out with the blade now. 104/5

13.5 OUT! RUN OUT! Namibia get a wicket against the run of play here. Unfortunate for Max O'Dowd as his bats gets stuck in the deck while scmapering towards the other end. It is much fuller, on off stump. Max O'Dowd gets it out to mid off. He calls for the single and takes off. Gerhard Erasmus charges towards the ball and scores a direct hit at the non-striker's end. Max O'Dowd's bat fell outside the crease and he could not make it in time. The same is confirmed by the third umpire. Is there a twist in the tale? 92/2

8.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Vikramjit Singh finds the fielder in the deep and Namibia have the breakthrough they so desperately wanted. Bernard Scholtz drops it a tad short and around leg stump. Singh goes deep in his crease but gets cramped for room. Singh forces the pull shot and hits it hard and flat. The ball goes towards Nicol Loftie-Eaton at the mid-wicket fence and he takes a sharp catch. Singh departs after providing a brisk start to his team. 59/1

15.3 OUT! CAUGHT! An unnecessary shot from Tom Cooper and Netherlands lose their third wicket. This is shorter and around the body. Cooper looks to take it on and goes for the aerial pull. Cooper doesn't get enough on it and the ball goes towards the fielder on the mid-wicket fence. Michael Van Lingen over there doesn't have to move an inch and pouches it safely. JJ Smit gives his team another chance and now, 21 runs are needed off 27 balls. Also, Colin Ackermann walks out to bat. 101/3

| Colin Ackermann | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |

15.5 OUT! TAKEN! Straight to the man and Netherlands losing the plot a bit here. JJ Smit bowls it full and on off stump. Colin Ackermann has to go for the lofted shot as the fielders are in tightly, saving the single. Ackermann drives it down the ground but gets no sort of elevation on it. The ball goes hard and towards the Namibian skipper, Gerhard Erasmus who takes a sharp catch at mid off. Ackermann departs for a duck and JJ Smit gets two wickets in the same over. Also, Scott Edwards is the new man in. 101/4

16.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Another bites the dust and Namibia might just pull off the unthinkable here. Another slower delivery by Jan Frylinck, on a length this time and around off. The ball gets stuck in the pitch a bit. Scott Edwards is caught by surprise and just sticks out his willow towards the ball. The ball hits the shoulder of the bat and lobs off towards short cover where Nicol Loftie-Eaton takes a simple catch. 20 needed now off 20 deliveries. 102/5
