David Wiese to share the new ball.

Fuller one on leg, Vriitya Aravind flicks it to square leg for one.

Touch fuller and outside off, Vriitya Aravind gets on his knee and eases it to point for a brace.

Wide! Another one outside leg, Vriitya Aravind leaves it alone.

On off, this is defended towards the off side.

Wide! Another length ball outside leg, Vriitya Aravind lets it go.

On a length and down leg, it nips in as well. Vriitya Aravind flicks it towards the leg side. That was close!

Length again, outside off. Muhammad Waseem taps it to backward point and gets off the mark. They collect one.

Starts with a length ball on middle, Muhammad Waseem defends it towards the off side. A dot to start with.

So we are done with all the pre-match proceedings. The Namibia players are seen to be in a huddle near the ropes before they take the field. Muhammad Waseem and Vriitya Aravind walk out to open for United Arab Emirates. Ruben Trumpelmann to start with the new ball.

Right then. Both the teams now making their way out on the field. All the players will line up for their respective national anthems. It will be UAE's first followed by Namibia's.

Gerhard Erasmus, the Namibian skipper says that toss won’t matter with the dew settling in later. Informs that Ruben Trumpelmann is in the side tonight in place of Divan la Cock. Says that they are going to go out there and enjoy tonight. Ends by adding that it’s all in their hands.

Chundangapoyil Rizwan, the captain of United Arab Emirates is in for a chat. He starts by saying that they will bat first. Adds the ball starts to do something in the latter stages and hence have opted to bat first here. Informs that there are three changes to the side as well.

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.
