Just a single. A yorker on middle and leg stump, Smit goes deep in the crease and drills it down to long on for one.

Ali Khan to Ruben Trumpelmann
How has Ali Khan managed to miss from there? Another yorker, tails back into the middle stump. Ruben Trumpelmann stays back and hammers it straight back at the non-striker. JJ Smit fails to get out of the way and gets a blow on the pads. He is also well outside his crease as the ball rolls to the bowler. Khan opts to underarm the throw from a few yards out and misses. The batters also get a single on the overthrow.

Ali Khan to JJ Smit
That's a perfect delivery. Full and right on the popping crease around off and middle stump, JJ Smit just about manages to dig it out.

Ali Khan to JJ Smit
FOUR! In the air, but in the gap. On a length, outside off, JJ Smit opens the face of his bat and steers it uppishly, over backward point for a boundary. Moves to 31 (22).

Ali Khan to JJ Smit
OUT! CAUGHT! That will come as a relief for Ali Khan. Something for him from this game at last. A good short ball, around middle, JJ Smit goes for the hook, but there is extra bounce on the ball. Smit is cramped for room and only manages to get a glove on the ball. It lobs up in the air and the keeper, Shayan Jahangir trots back a couple of steps to complete the formalities. A fighting knock from Smit.

Saurabh Netravalkar to JJ Smit
DROPPED! A tough chance put down by Shubham Ranjane. Banged in a bit shorter and on off, JJ Smit backs away a touch and slashes it over backward point. Ranjane is a bit slow to race towards it and just can't reach it on the lunging dive. The ball bounces into the hands and pops out as the batters get a single.

Saurabh Netravalkar to Zane Green
A review burnt by USA! Very full and angled into the pads, Zane Green shuffles to the off side and looks to flick but seems to have missed it. The ball goes off the pads to mid-wicket and the batters cross over. There is a half-hearted appeal for LBW, which is turned down. However, the keeper seems confident and the review is taken. UltraEdge shows a spike as the ball passes the inside edge and it stays Not Out. Just a single then.

Saurabh Netravalkar to JJ Smit

Ali Khan to Zane Green
IN THE AIR... JUST SHORT! Full, outside off, from around the wicket, with a round-arm action, Zane Green drives it uppishly but mistimes it towards mid off. Milind Kumar over there, charges in for the catch but then realizes that it is not going to carry to him. Puts his body behind the line and does well to prevent the ball from going behind, keeping the batters to a single.

Ali Khan to Zane Green
Excellent adjustment by the bowler. Green gets a long way across but in advance. Ali Khan sees that and slows the pace down and bowls it well outside off. All the batter can do is guide it straight to short third for one.

Ali Khan to Zane Green
Following the batter down the leg side once again, ZG takes it on the full and clips it behind square leg. Two fielders try to get across - deep square leg and fine leg. In the end, Mohammad Mohsin from the former position gets to the ball, slides and pushes it towards his partner, saving the boundary. Two runs taken, two saved.

Saurabh Netravalkar to Zane Green
Sensational over as only 4 runs come from the 16th! Once again, Saurabh follows ZG down the leg side, and even though it is a full toss, the batter can only work it towards deep mid-wicket for one more.

Shadley van Schalkwyk to Gerhard Erasmus
OUT! CAUGHT! The pressure tells and Namibia lose their skipper. But what a catch from the keeper! Wicket number 13 in the tournament for Shadley van Schalkwyk. Full and outside off, a bit quicker than the previous deliveries, Erasmus comes forward and looks to angle it towards deep third. But he is beaten by the quickness on this ball and is late on the shot. Only manages a thick outside edge and the ball flies away, but Shayan Jahangir flings himself to his right to pouch it with one glove! The Americans are all smiles, as from 99/1, Namibia are now 123/4! EQUATION - 77 RUNS, 32 BALLS!

On a length, a touch wide outside off, Louren Steenkamp throws his hands at it and punches it through the covers. The batters take the single and then take one on the throw. They are struggling but a weak throw to the keeper assists them. 88 more needed from 46 balls.

Shubham Ranjane to Louren Steenkamp
OUT! CAUGHT! And Ranjane gets the set batter out! Short and outside off, Steenkamp throws his bat at it again, but this time, does not get much pace to work with. Ends up playing it early and aerially, straight to point, where Mohammad Mohsin makes no mistake. End of a fine 58 from the opener but from 99/1, NAMIBIA ARE NOW 112/3, NEEDING ANOTHER 88 RUNS FROM 45 BALLS!

OUT! CAUGHT! And the 45-run stand is broken. Fuller length, around the middle and leg stumps, with a clever change of pace, Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton shuffles back and then attempts the reverse sweep. However, he is cramped for room. Hence, he cannot find any elevation and ends up hitting it straight to Shubham Ranjane at short third! Another batter gets a start and is dismissed. Namibia are 99/2 and need another 101 RUNS FROM 57 BALLS!

OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! A change of angle and also a change in fortune for this year's competition's leading wicket-taker. Wicket number 12 for Shadley van Schalkwyk as he comes around the wicket to the left-hander and bowls a heavy ball, just short of a length and on off. Jan Frylinck looks to pull but miscues it badly.

Shadley van Schalkwyk to Louren Steenkamp
Shadley bustles in and hammers the good length, darting the ball back in. Steenkamp opts to hang back and taps it wide of mid on for a single.

Shadley van Schalkwyk to Jan Frylinck
A few of inches finer and that would have gone to the fence. Banged in short and down leg, Frylinck plays a controlled pull but hits it too close to Saurabh Netravalkar at fine leg and picks up a single.

Shadley van Schalkwyk to Louren Steenkamp
Good length, around off, pushed away on the up and towards extra cover for one more. Tidy start from Shadley van Schalkwyk, four singles off his first over.

Saurabh Netravalkar to Jan Frylinck
Oooh... a bit of inswing now. Outside off, Frylinck looks to hit this through the off side but the ball swings back in and goes off the inside edge, past the stumps, towards fine leg. A single taken.

Milind Kumar to Jan Frylinck
FOUR! Beautifully played. Tossed up around middle, Jan Frylinck leans on a bit, keeps his shape and plays a lovely on drive. The ball rolls away well to the right of mid on and goes away into the fence.

Indifferent but brilliant. Couldn't have been more contradicting, could we? But that's how the opening over went. Shoddy sometimes, fiery the other times. Milind Kumar will share the new ball.
0
Another change, maybe? Of course. The tournament's leading wicket taker of this edition, Shadley van Schalkwyk, gets the ball.
0
5th bowler in 5 overs? Not quite, but a change in bowling for sure. Ali Khan returns. 1-0-6-0 so far.

Plenty of momentum for Namibia from that 5th over. Final over of the Powerplay coming up.
0
DRINKS BREAK. The leading wicket taker has a big smile on his face. Although Namibia would have preferred Steenkamp's wicket, Conway's dismissal would also do as the 54-run stand is broken. Conway? Yeah, might be only me, but doesn't Jan Frylinck look like Devon Conway? Even some of his shots, like pushing away from the body, or playing the pull or the cut, seem so identical to the way the Kiwi opener plays. This pitch still looks good to bat on but we will come to know more once the ball starts getting older. Right now, it is still semi new and fairly hard. But once the field is spread and the spinners come into action, that time, it will be interesting to see. USA have not been perfect with their lines and lengths and would want to tidy up. Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton walks in next, at number 4, replacing Jan Frylinck.
0
In terms of the runs, it was Namibia's Powerplay. But because of that wicket and the excellent final over, it looks to be evens-stevens at 57/1. At the same stage, USA were 65/0. Here comes spin again. Mohammad Mohsin to bowl his leg spin.
0
Double bowling change? Yes. Milind Kumar will bowl again. 1-0-8-0 so far.
0
Halfway mark reached. Namibia are 97/1, as compared to USA's 88/1. Remember, USA prodded along the middle overs, before launching at the death. Can Namibia overcome that phase and get ahead in the middle phase? Saurabh Netravalkar is back on. 1-0-10-0 so far.
0
USA could not have started the second half of this second innings any better. In walks the captain of Namibia, Gerhard Erasmus, at number 4, replacing Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton.
0
Trouble for Namibia. Two new batters in the middle. JJ Smit walks in next, at number 5, replacing Louren Steenkamp.
0
DRINKS BREAK. One can't help but just get the feeling that Namibia are being choked here. With two new batters in the middle, one cannot blame them either, because you cannot just go out there and start playing your shots from the word go. USA have bowled well post the 10th over, conceding just 24 runs with a solitary boundary, gaining the important wicket of Louren Steenkamp as well. Alan Wilkins on air observes that as compared to that match against the Netherlands, Harmeet is bowling way flatter today. But Nick Knight does not have an issue with that. He replies that his pace variations have been excellent and as long as he can control that, it is great. Shadley van Schalkwyk returns. 2-0-13-1 so far.
0
Into the middle order of Namibia now, are the USA. From the American wicketkeeper, the focus shifts to his counterpart as Zane Green walks in next, at number 6, replacing his skipper, Gerhard Erasmus.
0
Ali Khan returns. 2-0-26-0 so far.
0
Drama in the middle! Just after executing his reverse, Zane Green has been RETIRED OUT! That's nice, but isn't it too late? Anyway, Ruben Trumpelmann walks in next, at number 7, replacing Green. With the ball, Ali Khan has been expensive so far. Will he be allowed to complete his 4 overs? Not right now. Shadley van Schalkwyk will bowl out first. 3-0-17-2 so far.
0
Final over then. And Ali Khan is indeed given a chance to improve on his bowling figures. 3-0-37-0 so far.
0
Dylan Leicher walks in next, at number 8, replacing JJ Smit, to face what should be the final ball of the match.

The moment everyone is waiting for... So after the West Indies trouncing Nepal at the Wankhede, the USA ease past Namibia at the Chepauk. What will the Premadasa hold in store? The mother of all clashes, India vs Pakistan, is all set to begin from 1.30 pm GMT but our buildup has already begun, with Pakistan winning the toss and electing to bowl first. Do hop into that matchcentre and have a very good Sunday! ADIOS! TAKE CARE!

Ali Khan to Louren Steenkamp
FOUR! BOOM! That's some way to start. A gentle loosener from Ali Khan, but Louren Steenkamp is ready. Gets a long hop and pulls it over mid-wicket with disdain, to start the run chase in style!

Ali Khan to Jan Frylinck
That has come in a long way! A round-arm action from around the wicket, on a length, outside off, Jan Frylinck looks to push it through the off side but the ball lands and then nips back way in, going past the inside edge, then the off stump and then the keeper almost, as he has to dive to his right to stop the ball!

Ali Khan to Jan Frylinck
Nipping back in sharply again, Frylinck is hopping to work it away but misses and gets it off the body towards backward point. The batters run a single but the umpire does not signal a leg bye. Maybe, some wood was involved.
