... PRESENTATION ...

Earlier in the day, Gerhard Erasmus won the toss and put Scotland into bat. His decision was complimented straightaway by Ruben Trumpelmann who picked up three wickets in the very first over. This set the tone for the innings and Namibia restricted their opponents to 109. The Namibian openers put a few runs on the board and after some hiccups along the way, JJ Smit finished things off in style and Namibia have two points on board. It's time for the presentation ceremony...

Scotland almost pulled the rabbit out of the hat but there just weren't enough runs to defend. The pacers started off nicely with the ball, allowing no room to the Namibian batters to get ahead in the game but managed just one wicket in the Powerplay. Once Zane Green fell, the Scottish spinners started to pile on the pressure. Michael Leask was the pick of the bowlers as he picked up a couple of wickets and Mark Watt and Chris Greaves picked up a wicket each. Scotland took the game into the final over and this shows character. They lose their second game in a row but won't be disappointed with their bowling effort.

Namibia have been missing from the biggest stage of cricket for the past 18 or so years and here they are now, in the Super 12 of the T20 World Cup and they have just won their first match. The total to chase down was a low one but it's always the totals that require around run-a-ball that play with the mind and that's what happened to Namibia but a few partnerships here and there and a flourish in the end means Namibia continue their red hot streak. Craig Williams and Michael Van Lingen started off slowly but got some runs on board. It was JJ Smit down the order who made the difference with a 32-run cameo and David Wiese supported him well.

Just for a moment it looked like Namibia were going to crumble under pressure but they have kept their cool and have bagged their first ever win in the main draw of the T20 World Cup and also go on to win their third match on the bounce.
