10.2 OUT! TAKEN! The combination of Willem Myburgh and JJ Smit does the job again for Namibia and USA lose their skipper now. Myuburgh tosses it up a bit, bowling it straight at the stumps. Monank Patel clears the front leg to set up for the slog sweep but ends up snatching at it. He gets it off the toe end of the bat and much straighter than he would have liked. The ball gets launched over mid on and Smith at long on takes a simple catch. USA ARE 89/2 AFTER 10.2 OVERS! 89/2

| Shayan Jahangir Wk | 22 | 18 | 2 | 1 | 122.22 |

6.5 OUT! CAUGHT! At last, Namibia get a wicket and it is through spin. Tossed up, around off and here is the change in pace. It is slower but Shayan Jahangir is already through his shot. He goes down on a knee and targets the slog sweep. One presumes, the area is either square leg or mid-wicket. But because he plays early, he miscues it, getting it towards long on, where JJ Smit has all the time in the world to get across to his left and pouch the catch. The 68-run stand has been broken. Not the quickest of knocks from Jahangir, but his contribution will go down well noted. 68/1

11.4 OUT! CAUGHT! How's that for composure? Gerhard Erasmus does get a wicket after getting hit for 11 runs in 3 balls and USA lose their third. Erasmus pulls the length back and bowls it around middle. It is fractionally short and Saiteja Mukkamalla rocks back to pull. Mukkamalla flat-bats it down to long on where Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton settles just inside the ropes and pouches it to his right. He knows he is going to go overboard and just flicks the ball back up before stepping out of bounds and back in to snaffle it. 103/3

19.2 OUT! CAUGHT! 87 is usually an unlucky number for Australia, but it has worked for Namibia on this occasion as they break the mammoth 87-run stand. Tossed up, around off, Milind Kumar steps out and looks to go down the ground, but is not to the pitch of the ball. Miscues it towards long off where JJ Smit makes no mistake. Decent hand by Milind comes to an end and USA ARE 190/4 AFTER 19.2 OVERS! 190/4

12.3 OUT! CAUGHT! And Ranjane gets the set batter out! Short and outside off, Steenkamp throws his bat at it again, but this time, does not get much pace to work with. Ends up playing it early and aerially, straight to point, where Mohammad Mohsin makes no mistake. End of a fine 58 from the opener but from 99/1, NAMIBIA ARE NOW 112/3, NEEDING ANOTHER 88 RUNS FROM 45 BALLS! 112/3

5.2 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! A change of angle and also a change in fortune for this year's competition's leading wicket-taker. Wicket number 12 for Shadley van Schalkwyk as he comes around the wicket to the left-hander and bowls a heavy ball, just short of a length and on off. Jan Frylinck looks to pull but miscues it badly. The ball lobs back up and the bowler takes it comfortably in his followthrough. 54/1

| Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton | 28 | 17 | 4 | 0 | 164.70 |

10.3 OUT! CAUGHT! And the 45-run stand is broken. Fuller length, around the middle and leg stumps, with a clever change of pace, Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton shuffles back and then attempts the reverse sweep. However, he is cramped for room. Hence, he cannot find any elevation and ends up hitting it straight to Shubham Ranjane at short third! Another batter gets a start and is dismissed. Namibia are 99/2 and need another 101 RUNS FROM 57 BALLS! 99/2

14.4 OUT! CAUGHT! The pressure tells and Namibia lose their skipper. But what a catch from the keeper! Wicket number 13 in the tournament for Shadley van Schalkwyk. Full and outside off, a bit quicker than the previous deliveries, Erasmus comes forward and looks to angle it towards deep third. But he is beaten by the quickness on this ball and is late on the shot. Only manages a thick outside edge and the ball flies away, but Shayan Jahangir flings himself to his right to pouch it with one glove! The Americans are all smiles, as from 99/1, Namibia are now 123/4! EQUATION - 77 RUNS, 32 BALLS! 123/4

| JJ Smit | 31 | 23 | 1 | 1 | 134.78 |
|
19.5 OUT! CAUGHT! That will come as a relief for Ali Khan. Something for him from this game at last. A good short ball, around middle, JJ Smit goes for the hook, but there is extra bounce on the ball. Smit is cramped for room and only manages to get a glove on the ball. It lobs up in the air and the keeper, Shayan Jahangir trots back a couple of steps to complete the formalities. A fighting knock from Smit. 168/6
