Pitch Report

The dimensions are the same, shorter to the off side. 59 m on that side, 69 m on the other. A decent whack of 75 m down the ground. Adil Rashid was able to attract prodigious turn in the previous game here and he was able to get 5.8 degree of turn. Not a blade of grass on this pitch and a bit of moisture, so the number one T20 bowler in the world is going to enjoy this surface again, reckon Samuel Badree and Michael Atherton.

Commentary

So, that is it from here. This is Probuddha Bhattacharjee signing off from this game on behalf of my co-commentator Pratyush. Do stay tuned on Sportskeeda and enjoy the live action from the Australia vs Scotland game, which will be up in a couple of hours. Thank you!!!

Jos Buttler (England Captain): Yeah it is a big relief to have won this game. With the rain coming and interruptions it was difficult. But we have done well in the end. With the ball sticking on that wicket we though 90-95 would be a good score but Moeen and Livingstone did a great job in the end. Bairstow, Moeen and Livingstone have a done a great job and credit to them for the way they have hot the ball.

Gerhard Erasmus (Namibia Captain): Yeah it was a steep chase. I still think bowling first was the way to go on that track but we leaked too many runs towards the end of the innings. David (Wiese) does not want to open so can't do anything about that. Could have forced him to open the next time, but unfortunately this is his last game. Disappointed that we cannot go past the line in the matches but will try and learn from the experience we gathered.

Harry Brook is the Player of the Match. Here's what he has to say: There was a lot of anxiety going around. Thankfully, the rain stopped and we got a game. We took a bit of information from the batting, Toppers did brilliantly for us with the ball. It was a bit tough facing the spinners and we knew it was gonna be with a little bit popping out, so it was tough when went on. I didn't quite know how was gonna come out, so yeah, I just tried to stick and I was trying to boundaries. I was just playing into the game, so I was not in the end, but I'm gonna go get a few runs. He (Bairstow) was just trying to smack it. He kind of had a few as a positive because I knew he was gonna try. He's gonna hit a few sixes after them, so I could play the way I want. I'll probably be asleep before that game. Hopefully, I can enjoy sleeping.

Match End!!!!

England - 122/10 (10 Overs)
Namibia - 84/3 (10 Overs)

England have won the match by 41 runs (DLS)

It was going to be a tough challenge for the Namibian batters to chase down 126 in 10 overs against a strong English side. Things got tougher as Reece Topley bowled a brilliant spell and did not let the two openers get off the block in the powerplay.

They tried to reach their with retiring out Niko Davin and bringing in David Wiese. Wiese did play a great cameo but it was not enough on the day. In the end, Namibia were restricted to 84/3 in their 20 overs.

England have won this game by 41 runs and have done their part of the job. Now, they will have to hope that Australia defeat Scotland for them to qualify to the Super Eights.

9.6 Jofra Archer to Gerhard Erasmus, that will be that. England keep their hopes alive and will be counting on their arch rivals to do them a favor. It's a slower bouncer to end the proceedings, Erasmus couldn't connect with his attempted ramp. Sums up Namibia's evening with the bat, really. England win by 41 wins (DLS method).

9.5 Jofra Archer to Jonathan Smit, aiming for the toe-crushers as Smit backed away a little. The ball deflects off the pads to allow a single at short third

9.5 Jofra Archer to Jonathan Smit, wide. Pounds it in short. A bit to short for the umpire's liking though

Jonathan Smit, RHB, is the next batter.

9.4 Jofra Archer to David Wiese, ARCHER BAGS ONE! Banging it in short and Wiese tried to take it on, aiming down the ground. The top edge only carries as far as Brook at long-on though, and he makes no mistake. Wiese takes in the applause in what might be his final game for Namibia. A lovely moment for the all-rounder.

9.3 Jofra Archer to Gerhard Erasmus, keeps it full at the stumps. Erasmus works it to deep mid-wicket to open his account

9.2 Jofra Archer to Gerhard Erasmus, pitched up the slower one. Erasmus clears his front leg for an almighty heave but doesn't connect, no run

9.1 Jofra Archer to David Wiese, full delivery honing in at the stumps. Wiese flicks it to deep mid-wicket for a single

Jofra Archer [1.0-0-12-0] will bowl the last over.

Gerhard Erasmus, RHB, comes into bat at number 4.

A brilliant over by Chris Jordan. Only nine runs off it and a wicket. This match is practically over now. The last over will just be a formality now.

8.6 Chris Jordan to Michael van Lingen, OUT! Holes out. Harry Brook can do no wrong today. It was in the slot for the batter and he clubbed it down the ground, only to find Brook waiting to collect that one. He smartly moved across to his right and held on, making it look comfortable in the end.

Michael van Lingen c Harry Brook b Chris Jordan 33 (29b, 1x4, 3x6)

8.5 Chris Jordan to Michael van Lingen, SIX! Too little too late for Namibia perhaps. Van Lingen latches onto the shot ball and pulls it handsomely over cow corner for a maximum.
