Namibia and Oman met in the third match of the t20 World Cup at the Kensington Oval on Sunday night, and saw the first Super Over of the season. We all got a gift of a high thrilling match in a low scoring match. Oman batted and gave a target of 110 runs to Namibia and while doing that run, Namibia was under a lot of pressure and Oman gave a very tough fight. But Namibian all-rounder superstar David Wiese put in a brilliant performance, batting and bowling to help Namibia win the match.
With Oman out to bat, Omani opener Kashyap Prajapati was dismissed lbw on the first delivery of Namibia first bowler Ruben Trumppelman’s first over. On his next delivery, Oman opener Aqib IIyas was dismissed and went to Pavillion. After that, in the second over of Trumpelman, Naseeb Khushi caught Erasmus again while hitting a drive, Zeeshan Maqsood was slowly advancing the Oman innings.
Another wicket after the bowling of Bernard Scholz. Oman’s runs and bowls were one, Oman team could not hit a single four in 44 balls till 17 overs. The entire Oman team is trapped by the Namibian bowling. David Wiese and Ruben Trumpelman bowled brilliantly, and the Oman team was restricted to 109 runs by the Namibian team. For Namibia, Ruben Trumpelman took 4 wickets and David Wiese took 3 wickets, while the most successful player for Oman was Khailid Kail, who scored 34 runs off 39 balls.
Delivering in all facets of the game 👏
