Over 17. no runs. Bowler: Gerhard Erasmus. Malawi: 71/10(rr 4.18)

Wicket. OUT! Bowled. Gerhard Erasmus to Kelvin Thuchila. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, missed. Malawi posted a below-par total of just 71 runs. While many batters struggled to stay at the crease, Gift Kansonkho's unbeaten score of 31 provided some hope for the team. In contrast, Namibia's bowlers delivered a magnificent performance, with Nicol Loftie-Eaton standing out by claiming a sensational hat-trick and finishing with impressive figures of 4 wickets for just 10 runs. JJ Smit also contributed significantly, taking three wickets. The Namibia batters will aim to chase down the target as quickly as possible. Join us for the run chase!
