NAM vs ZIM Live Cricket Score

8.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Max Heingo strikes big in his first over. For the second game in a row, after a promising start, Zimbabwe are losing their way. Heingo pushes it across the left-hander, on the fuller side. Curran does not move his feet at all and just flashes at the ball. It leaves him to catch the outside edge and it balloons towards short third, where Jack Brassell moves to his right and gobbles it up at waist height. The well-set Curran departs, and Namibia now have two new batters to bowl at. 76/4

6 OUT! CAUGHT! JJ Smit has the last laugh. Brian Bennett has done his job of providing Zimbabwe with a brisk start but he would have loved to convert this start into a big score. Smit digs it in short, over off and gets the ball to climb onto the batter. Bennett gets his hands high to pull this one off the front foot but a top edge is found. It is skied towards deep square leg, where Jan Frylinck steadies himself under the skier and gets low to take the catch whilst extending his hands out in front. 64/1

7 OUT! TIMBER! Bernard Scholtz has produced an absolute ripper. From around the wicket, he slows it down, on a good length in line with the off stump. Myers lunges and pushes out in front. The ball lands and straightens to sneak past the outside edge before clattering into the off pole. 69/2

7.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Gerhard Erasmus dismisses his opposite number. That is a fine catch by Jan Frylinck. From around the wicket, flat and on a length, on middle. Raza gets down on a knee and attempts the slog sweep. He does not quite get hold of it and it goes towards deep mid-wicket, where Frylinck charges in off the ropes and slides to take the catch inches off the turf. A golden duck for Raza. From 64/0, Zimbabwe are 72/3. 72/3

9.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Wickets off successive overs for Gerhard Erasmus. Flighted up by Erasmus, on middle. Madhevere clears the front leg and tries to go downtown. He does not connect well and it goes only as far as long on, where JJ Smit snaffles it close to his body. Zimbabwe have now lost 5 wickets for just 15 runs to be reduced to 79/5. 79/5

12 OUT! CAUGHT! Gerhard Erasmus gets his third of the game. Erasmus bowls this from behind the stumps, tosses it up, around off. Tadiwanashe Marumani swings but gets it sliced to the right of the deep mid-wicket fielder. Jan Frylinck covers a bit of ground and takes it nice and easy. 101/6

2.4 OUT! CAUGHT! That is a soft dismissal. Louren Steenkamp got completely outfoxed there. Nice change-up by Blessing, as after a series of short balls, he serves a slower one and it is fuller in length, on off. Steenkamp hangs deep in the crease and stays beside the line to open up the off side. He is deceived by the slower ball and just hangs his bat out there with no real conviction. Spoons it to backward point, where Wessly Madhevere does the rest. Namibia are 14/1, chasing 196. 14/1

10.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Wellington Masakadza gets in on the act now. Ben Curran dropped one earlier, but he makes no mistake this time. On a length, sliding across the left-hander from around the wicket. Frylinck has a swing at it but the ball leaves him to catch the outer half. Jan ends up slicing it towards point, where Curran moves to his left to settle under it and gobbles it up. Zimbabwe further tighten their grip on the game with this scalp. 68/5

4.4 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Brad Evans gets the prized scalp of the Namibian skipper. A well-directed short ball, around the right shoulder. Erasmus takes it on but is rushed and the ball climbs onto him. He takes his eyes off the ball as he attempts the pull. It is skied off a top edge to deep square leg, where Brian Bennett charges across to his right and dives full-length to take a brilliant catch. Namibia are 29/2, needing 168 runs in 92 balls. 28/2

9.1 OUT! LBW! Trapped in front, and that is an easy decision for the umpire. Bennett begins from around the wicket and slips in a full ball, on middle. Loftie-Eaton goes for the premeditated reverse, but the ball is too full for the shot. It sneaks under the blade before hitting the back pad right in front of the sticks. Immediate impact by Brian Bennett. Namibia are now 60/3, requiring 136 runs from 65 balls. 60/3

9.3 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! JJ Smit tries to repeat the dose but it does not come off for him. Brian Bennett cleverly drags the length back a bit and slows it down, on middle. Smit clears the front leg and swings through the line but the bat turns in his hand. JJ only gets the height and not the distance. It is skied downtown, where Ryan Burl covers a lot of ground to his left from long on. He puts in a dive and snaffles it. Second wicket in the over for Brian Bennett. 66/4

11.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Ben Curran nearly made a meal of it but somehow managed to cling onto the ball. Raza dishes the carrom ball, full and on middle. Trumpelmann takes the risk of going against the turn and pays the price. He puts his head down and has a swipe across the line. It pops up off a leading edge in front of square on the off side. Curran sprints to his left from cover and nearly overruns the ball. At the last moment, he sticks out the right hand behind his body and holds onto it. 76/6

19.2 OUT! ZANE GREEN IS RUN OUT! A moment of brilliance in the field by Sikandar Raza. Full and keeping it away from the batter's arc. Volschenk extends his hands and powers the drive to the right of long off. They think about the second run and eventually commit to it. Sikandar Raza charges across to his right and picks the ball up cleanly. He gets rid of the ball quickly, scoring a direct hit at the bowling end. Green puts in a desperate dive but in vain. 186/7

19.4 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! This game continues to swing one way and then the other. Evans sticks to the full length, outside off. Volschenk throws his hands at the ball, looking to force it away. The ball takes an outside edge and flies behind quickly, where the keeper, Tadiwanashe Marumani flings himself to his right and holds onto a one-handed blinder with his right mitt. 190/8

19.5 OUT! BERNARD SCHOLTZ IS RUN OUT! That brings the equation down to 6 needed off the final ball and the scales are now tipped heavily in favour of Zimbabwe. Nails the yorker, does Evans, on off. Jack gets his bat down and digs it out. It dribbles down the deck and Bernard Scholtz is backing up too far. Evans gathers the ball, turns around and breaks the stumps with Bernard at a point of no return. Max Heingo is the last man in, but it is Jack Brassell on strike. 190/9

20 OUT! DRAGGED ON! Brad Evans has done it for Zimbabwe, who win by 5 runs. Really full by Brad, near the popping crease, on off. Brassell collapses his back knee and throws the kitchen sink at it. Gets an inside edge and it crashes back onto the stumps. Jubilation for Chevrons, heartbreak for the home side. 190/10
