Zainullah Ihsan to Ruben Trumpelmann. Reverse Swing-In yorker, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, inside edge for 1 run, fielded by Cross. Namibia's innings has come to a close, and what a fascinating passage of play it has been. The home side showed plenty of intent, but Scotland's bowlers kept chipping away at crucial moments to ensure the momentum never fully swung Namibia's way. The innings was anchored by their skipper, who played with authority and composure, holding things together while wickets fell around him. His knock gave Namibia the stability they needed, and towards the end, a late flourish from the lower order added some much-needed spark. Scotland, on the other hand, will be pleased with how their bowlers executed their plans. The spinners applied pressure in the middle overs, while the seamers struck at key junctures to prevent Namibia from building any long partnerships. Stay tuned for a thrilling run chase!
