Mohammad Rizwan is named the Man of the Match for his 50-ball 79.
Pakistan win by 45 runs and qualify for semis
Brilliant from them. Four wins in four. Pakistan started off slowly and were 59/0 from 10 overs. But then they picked up the scoring and smashed 130 off the next 10. Babar made 70 off 49 while Rizwan made 79 off 50. Hafeez too provided a late surge with 16-ball 32 to propel Pakistan to 189/2.
In reply, Namibia never got the momentum going. They had the wickets in hand but couldn’t break through Pakistan’s disciplined bowling. And then they lost wickets under pressure and could manage just 144 in reply to Pakistan’s 189.
SIX AND FOUR! Wiese lofts it straight back over Shaheen’s head for a six and then pulls it to fine leg for a four off a NO BALL! He edges one to the keeper off the FREE HIT
SIX! Wiese lofts it straight down the ground, off Rauf.
After 18 overs,Namibia 116/5 ( David Wiese 21 , Nicol Loftie-Eaton 3)
Rauf bowls a really good over. Changes his pace really well. There is a slower one that foxes Smit and gets his wicket and then there is a fast bouncer that hits Wiese smack on the helmet. Thankfully he is fine after being attended to by the physio.
Hasan Ali is then brought into the attack and he bowls a frugal over, giving away just 5 runs. Wiese miscued his slice just over point for a couple. 74 needed off 12 balls.
Haris Rauf has drawn a false shot with 50% of the balls he’s bowled today.#T20WorldCup— The CricViz Analyst (@cricvizanalyst) November 2, 2021
OUT! The slower ball does the trick as Rauf removes JJ Smit. Rauf bowls it on good length, it’s that slower one, Smit goes for a swing across the line but gets a top edge to mid-wicket where the fielder makes no mistake.
After 16 overs,Namibia 107/4 ( David Wiese 16 , JJ Smit 2)
Namibia getting that odd boundary but it’s too less. The match is running away from them. Hasan Ali goes up with a huge appeal off the first ball of the 15th over but there was an inside edge which the umpire spotted and shook his head. After a two, Wiese smashes one over point for a four. The last two balls yielded two singles. 8 runs off the Ali over.
Shaheen is brought back into the attack. A gives away just a single off the first two balls. But then delivers a low full toss which Wiese lofts over mid off, off a single hand for a four. Just six runs off the Afridi over. 83 needed off 24 balls.
After 14 overs,Namibia 93/4 ( David Wiese 4 , JJ Smit 0)
Namibia have lost a couple of wickets in the last two overs. They are looking to up the aggression but Pakistan have been disciplined and not allowed them to gain the momentum. Wasim gives away just 6 runs and gets the wicket of Erasmus. Shadab conceded a boundary which was smashed over point but he got out next ball trying to clear long off. 9 runs and a wicket off the Shadab over. 15 off the last 2.
