USA vs NAM T20 World Cup 2026 Live
No run.
Saurabh Netravalkar is back on. 2-0-14-1 so far. Full and outside off, JJ Smit drives it through the covers for a single.
A sharp bouncer to end the over, around middle and leg, Green lets it go, thinking it will be wided, but it is deemed legal. A wicket and just 4 runs from the over, Shadley van Schalkwyk's bowling figures read 3-0-17-2 so far.
Short and outside off, Zane Green steers it behind point to get off the mark with a couple.
Into the middle order of Namibia now, are the USA. From the American wicketkeeper, the focus shifts to his counterpart as Zane Green walks in next, at number 6, replacing his skipper, Gerhard Erasmus.
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!
Full and around off, JJ Smit pushes it towards mid on for a quick run as the bowler himself gets across to stop the ball.
Outside off, dabbed towards short third for a single.
Full, outside off, cross seam, Gerhard Erasmus gets down and across to paddle but misses, due to the lack of pace, getting hit on the pads.
DRINKS BREAK. One can't help but just get the feeling that Namibia are being choked here. With two new batters in the middle, one cannot blame them either, because you cannot just go out there and start playing your shots from the word go. USA have bowled well post the 10th over, conceding just 24 runs with a boundar, gaining the important wicket of Louren Steenkamp as well. Alan Wilkins on air observes that as compared to that match against the Netherlands, Harmeet is bowling way flatter today. But Nick Knight does not have an issue with that. He replies that his pace variations have been excellent and as long as he can control that, it is great. Shadley van Schalkwyk returns. 2-0-13-1 so far.
