यूएसए vs नामीबिया, मैच 26, एमए चिदंबरम स्टेडियम, चेन्नई, 15 February 2026 - हाइलाइट्स

Full, outside off, cross seam, Gerhard Erasmus gets down and across to paddle but misses, due to the lack of pace, getting hit on the pads.

Outside off, dabbed towards short third for a single.

Full and around off, JJ Smit pushes it towards mid on for a quick run as the bowler himself gets across to stop the ball.

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!

Short and outside off, Zane Green steers it behind point to get off the mark with a couple.

A sharp bouncer to end the over, around middle and leg, Green lets it go, thinking it will be wided, but it is deemed legal. A wicket and just 4 runs from the over, Shadley van Schalkwyk's bowling figures read 3-0-17-2 so far.

Saurabh Netravalkar is back on. 2-0-14-1 so far. Full and outside off, JJ Smit drives it through the covers for a single.

Short and outside off, Zane Green slashes but misses.

Full and outside off, Green comes down the track and works it with the angle through mid-wicket for a run.

A low full toss, outside off, Smit gets across and drives it through the covers, for just one.

Another dot ball. Netravalkar sees Zane back away to the leg side and tries to attack the stumps. Goes pretty full, but misses the leg stump by an inch as the batter slashes and misses too.

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.

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.

Short and wide outside off, JJ Smit punches it through point for a run.

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.

WIDE. A cross-seam ball, full and wide outside off, too wide to be played at and Smit lets it be.

Very full, outside off, JJ drives it towards long off for another single.

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.

FOUR! A BOUNDARY AFTER 30 BALLS! A short ball, slower in pace and into the surface, Zane Green waits for the ball and then leaps and upper cuts it over short third for a boundary!

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.

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.

Smit walks past the off stump and the bowler bowls a full ball wide outside the off stump. This is squeezed away to covers for a single.

Very full, outside off, Zane Green leans and works it through mid-wicket for a single.

Very full, wide outside off, JJ Smit steers this behind point for a run.

FOUR! Creativity, but is it too late? A full toss, down the leg side, Zane Green brings out the reverse and scoops it over short third for a boundary. 9 from the over and Saurabh Netravalkar finishes with bowling figures of 4-0-27-1.

Hit firmly by JJ Smit but not firm enough. A full-pitched delivery on off, Smit hangs back and pummels it to the right of long off for a couple of runs.

Two more and USA won't mind that at all. Full and wide outside off, Smit squeezes it away wide to the right of deep point and canters back for the second run.

Nailed in the blockhole. Full and around the sixth stump line at 125 kph, it is the wide yorker and JJ Smit fails to jam it out. 

SIX! CLUBBED! Going down fighting, is Smit. On a length, outside off, JJ Smit hangs back and swings it cleanly straight back over the sightscreen.

Outside off, full again, lofted down to long off for a single.

Full and wide outside off, Trumpelmann carves this wide of long off but will get just a couple. 13 from the over and it will be 4-0-30-2 for Shadley van Schalkwyk in this match.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

A dot ball it will be to finish. Short and outside off, Dylan Leicher looks to slap it through the off side but misses. USA WIN BY 31 RUNS!
