Commentary
We are back for Namibia's reply. United Arab Emirates players have made their way out in the middle. Michael Van Lingen and Stephan Baard walk in with their blades. Basil Hameed to start with the ball. Here we go.
... The Run Chase ...
Right then, Namibia have a job on their hands if they want to progress further in this edition of Men’s T20 World Cup. UAE's dreams have already been shattered but would give it their all to take a consolation win here and play spoilsport. Chase coming up in a bit…
Basil Hameed is in for a quick chat. He says that they started a bit slow but when they reached to the 15th over, the pitch got better to bat. Adds that it becomes easier to play with the old ball and Waseem was really good. Further says that it is a decent total and applauds Karthik Meiyappan for his Hat-Trick in the previous game.
Namibia began well with the new ball. In fact, they had the opposition under the pump for most of the innings. They did not let the batters find boundaries at will and kept the run-rate in check. Bernard Scholtz was impressive with the ball going at 5.50 RPO with a wicket under his belly. David Wiese and Ben Shikongo chipped in a wicket each. Although, Namibia will hope that the last two overs won’t come back to haunt them.
UAE openers started off cautiously managing not to lose any wicket in the Powerplay. As the Powerplay ended, Vriitya Aravind was dismissed in his quest to up the ante. Muhammad Waseem then took charge and started to get a move on with skipper, Rizwan. Hameed’s cameo towards the end was one of the biggest positives for UAE.
Phew! What a fight back by UAE. They have managed to rack up 33 runs in the final two overs to take their tally close to the 150-run mark. They are certainly heading into the break with the momentum on their side. Namibia dominated the proceedings but got derailed in the death overs.

Commentary
So, UAE’s win means that it will be Netherlands that go through from Group A along with the Asia Cup champions, Sri Lanka who book their spots in the Super 12s. However, there are still two seats up for grabs. The 2022 T20 World Cup action will continue on 21 October, Friday when we will get a clear picture how the Super 12 will look like. It is another double-header coming your way with much higher stakes this time. First, it will be Ireland locking horns with West Indies at 9.30 am IST (4 am GMT). Followed by a game between Scotland and Zimbabwe. The first ball will be at 1.30 pm IST (8 am GMT). But you can join us early for the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye!
Chundangapoyil Rizwan, the victorious skipper is in for a chat. He starts by thanking the almighty for the win. Adds that as this is the first win they are happy and they did well as a team. Further says that they did well in patches in their previous games but the confidence was great in this game and the decision of giving Waseem the last over was instinctive. Ends by saying that they are here to tell the world that they play good cricket and they have done it.
Gerhard Erasmus, the Namibian captain says that they did well to restrict UAE. Also says that post their win against Sri Lanka, they didn’t play good cricket in the next two matches. Applauds David Wiese for his brilliant knock. Ends by adding that they didn’t have enough in them to go through.
Muhammad Waseem wins the Man of the Match award for his complete performance. He says that it was difficult to bowl the death overs as he was bowling for the first time in the tournament. Adds that though it was his first game he planned well and was successful. Further says that the way Zahoor Khan bowled was excellent as well. Ends by saying that he is happy with the win but they should have done well in their previous games as well.
Stay tuned for the presentation...
Earlier in the evening, UAE were off to a slow start having decided to bat first. With the innings going nowhere till the 18th over, Basil Hameed’s lusty blows towards the end helped UAE reach a respectable total. Namibia were listless with the ball earlier and could not threaten the batting department much. Later, UAE were able to defend a below-par target.
United Arab Emirates had nothing to lose in this game and they came up with their best bowling performance tonight against Namibia. Having put Namibia in all sorts of trouble after 13 overs, UAE let it slip and Wiese put them in a worrying situation. Muhammad Waseem though bowled an exceptional final over against Wiese to knock Namibia out of the tournament. UAE will certainly head back home with their heads held high.
Namibia were dealt some early blows in their chase of 149. Their middle order too failed to step up and as a result, Namibia never got going while chasing in this must-win game. At 69-7, Namibia were on the cusp of a defeat. Then the pair of David Wiese and Ruben Trumpelmann resurrected the Namibian innings and put their side back in a commanding position with their stand of 70 runs, the highest ever 8th wicket stand in the history of the T20 World Cup. Namibia gave it their all but in the end it wasn’t meant to be.
A historic win for United Arab Emirates. They have recorded their first even win the T20 World Cup. David Wiese fought till the very end but could not sneak his side into the Super 12s. So near yet so far. Namibia unfortunately will be heading back home here.

B Hameed3-0-17-2
OUT! LBW! The skipper's decision to keep Hameed on for his third over does wonders this time. Namibia lose their third wicket. It is not what they had envisioned for themselves.

Commentary
We are back for Namibia's reply. United Arab Emirates players have made their way out in the middle. Michael Van Lingen and Stephan Baard walk in with their blades. Basil Hameed to start with the ball. Here we go.
... The Run Chase ...
Right then, Namibia have a job on their hands if they want to progress further in this edition of Men’s T20 World Cup. UAE's dreams have already been shattered but would give it their all to take a consolation win here and play spoilsport. Chase coming up in a bit…
Basil Hameed is in for a quick chat. He says that they started a bit slow but when they reached to the 15th over, the pitch got better to bat. Adds that it becomes easier to play with the old ball and Waseem was really good. Further says that it is a decent total and applauds Karthik Meiyappan for his Hat-Trick in the previous game.
Namibia began well with the new ball. In fact, they had the opposition under the pump for most of the innings. They did not let the batters find boundaries at will and kept the run-rate in check. Bernard Scholtz was impressive with the ball going at 5.50 RPO with a wicket under his belly. David Wiese and Ben Shikongo chipped in a wicket each. Although, Namibia will hope that the last two overs won’t come back to haunt them.
UAE openers started off cautiously managing not to lose any wicket in the Powerplay. As the Powerplay ended, Vriitya Aravind was dismissed in his quest to up the ante. Muhammad Waseem then took charge and started to get a move on with skipper, Rizwan. Hameed’s cameo towards the end was one of the biggest positives for UAE.
Phew! What a fight back by UAE. They have managed to rack up 33 runs in the final two overs to take their tally close to the 150-run mark. They are certainly heading into the break with the momentum on their side. Namibia dominated the proceedings but got derailed in the death overs.

Namibia (Playing XI) - Michael Van Lingen, Stephan Baard, Gerhard Erasmus (C), Jan Frylinck, Nicol Loftie-Eaton, JJ Smit, David Wiese, Zane Green (WK), Bernard Scholtz, Ben Shikongo, Ruben Trumpelmann (In for Divan la Cock).
United Arab Emirates (Playing XI) - Muhammad Waseem, Chundangapoyil Rizwan (C), Ahmed Raza (In for Aryan Lakra), Vriitya Aravind (WK), Alishan Sharafu (In for Chirag Suri), Basil Hameed, Fahad Nawaz (In for Kashif Daud), Aayan Khan, Karthik Meiyappan, Junaid Siddique, Zahoor Khan.
TOSS - The coin goes up and lands in favour United Arab Emirates. They have opted to BAT first.
Update - Sri Lanka have registered their win against Netherlands and have also booked a spot for them in the Super 12s. Now, if Namibia gets a win over UAE, they can make it through to the Super 12s if they have a better NRR than the Dutch. UAE surely can make an impact in this decisive encounter.

Commentary
So, UAE’s win means that it will be Netherlands that go through from Group A along with the Asia Cup champions, Sri Lanka who book their spots in the Super 12s. However, there are still two seats up for grabs. The 2022 T20 World Cup action will continue on 21 October, Friday when we will get a clear picture how the Super 12 will look like. It is another double-header coming your way with much higher stakes this time. First, it will be Ireland locking horns with West Indies at 9.30 am IST (4 am GMT). Followed by a game between Scotland and Zimbabwe. The first ball will be at 1.30 pm IST (8 am GMT). But you can join us early for the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye!
Chundangapoyil Rizwan, the victorious skipper is in for a chat. He starts by thanking the almighty for the win. Adds that as this is the first win they are happy and they did well as a team. Further says that they did well in patches in their previous games but the confidence was great in this game and the decision of giving Waseem the last over was instinctive. Ends by saying that they are here to tell the world that they play good cricket and they have done it.
Gerhard Erasmus, the Namibian captain says that they did well to restrict UAE. Also says that post their win against Sri Lanka, they didn’t play good cricket in the next two matches. Applauds David Wiese for his brilliant knock. Ends by adding that they didn’t have enough in them to go through.
Muhammad Waseem wins the Man of the Match award for his complete performance. He says that it was difficult to bowl the death overs as he was bowling for the first time in the tournament. Adds that though it was his first game he planned well and was successful. Further says that the way Zahoor Khan bowled was excellent as well. Ends by saying that he is happy with the win but they should have done well in their previous games as well.
Stay tuned for the presentation...
Earlier in the evening, UAE were off to a slow start having decided to bat first. With the innings going nowhere till the 18th over, Basil Hameed’s lusty blows towards the end helped UAE reach a respectable total. Namibia were listless with the ball earlier and could not threaten the batting department much. Later, UAE were able to defend a below-par target.
United Arab Emirates had nothing to lose in this game and they came up with their best bowling performance tonight against Namibia. Having put Namibia in all sorts of trouble after 13 overs, UAE let it slip and Wiese put them in a worrying situation. Muhammad Waseem though bowled an exceptional final over against Wiese to knock Namibia out of the tournament. UAE will certainly head back home with their heads held high.
Namibia were dealt some early blows in their chase of 149. Their middle order too failed to step up and as a result, Namibia never got going while chasing in this must-win game. At 69-7, Namibia were on the cusp of a defeat. Then the pair of David Wiese and Ruben Trumpelmann resurrected the Namibian innings and put their side back in a commanding position with their stand of 70 runs, the highest ever 8th wicket stand in the history of the T20 World Cup. Namibia gave it their all but in the end it wasn’t meant to be.
A historic win for United Arab Emirates. They have recorded their first even win the T20 World Cup. David Wiese fought till the very end but could not sneak his side into the Super 12s. So near yet so far. Namibia unfortunately will be heading back home here.

Full again, on the pads. Ruben Trumpelmann only is able to clip past mid on for a single. UAE WIN THE GAME BY 7 RUNS.
Full, on middle and leg. Bernard Scholtz flicks it to mid on for one.
OUT! CAUGHT! Muhammad Waseem is delighted but so are a few Dutch fans in the crowd. This should be the final nail in the coffin. It is full, outside off. Wiese gets under it and lofts it towards long on. It could've been six but Alishan Sharafu had other ideas. He leaps in the deep and takes a sharp catch. Bernard Scholtz is the new man in.
Full length, sliding down leg. Ruben Trumpelmann clips it through mid-wicket for just a single. David Wiese on strike now.
Waseem fires in a yorker yet again, on leg. David Wiese digs it out to the leg side and gets a single.
It is right in the blockhole, on middle and leg. Wiese flicks it to deep mid-wicket. The call is for two and they get two.
Looks like UAE need to put an extra fielder inside the circle, as they go past the cut-off time. Yes, they can only have 4 fielders outside the circle. So, 14 needed of 6 balls now. Who will get over the line?

Dropped! Fuller length on middle, David Wiese miscues a heave and gets it off the bottom half of the bat. The ball goes high in the air and the bowler himself runs across towards short mid-wicket. Doesn't judge it and drops a skier. They collect two.
