Namibia won the toss and chose to bat first Erasmus’s innings of 52 off 31 balls (five fours, two sixes) got his team back on course for a competitive total after the Namibians were creaking at 19 for 2 early. Erasmus was eventually stumped off the bowling of off-spinner Michael Leask
Namibia posted 155/9 in 20 overs with skipper Gerhard Erasmus scoring 52. For Scotland, Brad Wheal scalped three wickets. Later, Scotland chased down the target in 18.3 overs with Berrington and Leask scoring 47* and 35 runs respectively. Gerhard Erasmus also scalped two wickets for Namibia
In reply Captain Richie Berrington hit an unbeaten 47 to guide Scotland to a five-wicket victory over Namibia in their T20 Cricket World Cup Group B game in Barbados on Thursday.
Their combined effort in a fifth-wicket partnership of 74 rendered Gerhard Erasmus’ all-round contribution in vain after the Namibian captain had topscored with 52 out of a total of 155 for nine, followed by figures of two for 29 off four overs as Scotland wobbled at 73 for four in the 11th over.
Scotland though were indebted to the two seam-bowling Brads – Wheal and Currie – for pulling Namibia back from a total that looked as if it would get closer to 170, especially with David Wiese, their super over hero from the opening match victory over Oman, at the crease.
