TOSS - Both the skippers are out in the middle. Up goes the coin and it lands in favor of Namibia. They will bowl first.

Netherlands, on the other hand, have a decent side but they were handed a comprehensive defeat in their first game against Ireland. They have some experienced players in the form of Ryan ten Doeschate and Roelof van der Merwe who need to step up in this all-important fixture if they are to stay in the race for Super 12. The men in orange would be looking to bounce back after a disappointing loss against Ireland and not to forget that they would also be keen to win this match comprehensively to better their net run rate. Who will come out victorious in this must-win encounter? We shall find that soon. Stay tuned for toss and further updates.

Namibia were blown away by Sri Lanka in the first game and they will certainly need to pull their socks up heading into this game as they cannot afford to lose one more game. They suffered a heavy defeat in their opening game and it certainly did not help their net run rate either. Gerhard Erasmus and his men would be eager to comeback strong and put on a better show against Netherlands.

Hello and a very warm welcome to game number 7 of group A where Namibia will face Netherlands. It is a critical game for both these teams in order to stay in the race for Super 12 stage as both Namibia and Netherlands lost their opening encounter.

... Match Day ...
