19.6: Nqobani Mokoena to Ruben Trumpelmann, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! An appeal for caught behind, and it's been given by the umpire. Nqobani Mokoena ends with a wicket, and South Africa win by 11 runs. Mokoena pitches the ball up around the fifth stump line. Ruben Trumpelmann gets across to shovel it leg side but gets an outside edge through to the keeper. Connor Esterhuizen makes no mistake with the gloves on and Namibia finish with 217/3, a valiant effort in the chase.
19.6: Nqobani Mokoena to Ruben Trumpelmann, WIDE! Length ball, pitching it a long way outside the line of off stump. Left alone for a wide.
19.5: Nqobani Mokoena to Gerhard Erasmus, Very full, at the toes, jammed out wide of square leg for a single. That should be that.
19.4: Nqobani Mokoena to Ruben Trumpelmann, A comedy of errors in the field from the Proteas. Full again around off, Ruben Trumpelmann drives it to long off and the batters push for two again. The fielder mops it up quickly and fires in a throw at the correct end, but the keeper misses the flick onto the stumps from a couple of yards out. The ball then rolls down to deep third and Erasmus sets off for the third run. Trumpelmann is struggling but this time, the bowler fails to collect the throw and in the end, Namibia get three runs.
19.3: Nqobani Mokoena to Ruben Trumpelmann, Excellent again from the bowler, not conceding any boundaries. This is pitched fuller and well outside off, Trumpelmann leans across and drives it without much timing through extra cover, picking up a couple of runs.
19.2: Nqobani Mokoena to Ruben Trumpelmann, Mokoena nails the wide yorker this time, and the batters again hustle back for two, which simply isn't enough at the moment. Full and wide outside off, driven wide of sweeper cover for a brace. 19 needed off 4 balls.
19.2: Nqobani Mokoena to Ruben Trumpelmann, WIDE! Full and wide outside off, Mokoena tries to keep it out of the hitting arc but spills it beyond the tramline.
19.1: Nqobani Mokoena to Ruben Trumpelmann, A low full toss at the stumps, Trumpelmann toe-ends it down to long on and the batters do well to scamper back for the second run. 22 needed off 5 balls.
18.6: Kwena Maphaka to Ruben Trumpelmann, Full and around off, Trumpelmann backs away early but can't get under it and hits it down to long off for a single.
18.5: Kwena Maphaka to Ruben Trumpelmann, FOUR! A slice of luck for Trumpelmann and Namibia here. 25 needed now off 7 balls. Maphaka jams in a yorker around the leg stump line. Trumpelmann makes a bit of room leg side and gets an inside edge that runs down to fine leg for a boundary.
18.4: Kwena Maphaka to Ruben Trumpelmann, SIX! Trumpelmann keeps Namibia in the fight, and the 200 comes up as well for Namibia. Slightly shorter, a bit slower too and angled into the batter. Trumpelmann just swings for the fences and gets enough on the pull to clear the man at deep square leg.
18.3: Kwena Maphaka to Gerhard Erasmus, Another full ball, this time outside off. Erasmus jams it out to cover for just a single.
18.2: Kwena Maphaka to Gerhard Erasmus, Half a shout for caught behind, but this might have clipped the pad. Gerhard Erasmus certainly isn't happy and feels that a wide should have been given. Full and at the pads, just slanting down leg. Erasmus looks to flick but misses.
18.1: Kwena Maphaka to Ruben Trumpelmann, Yorker length, darted in from around the stumps and at the pads. Trumpelmann misses the flick and the ball thuds off the pads behind point. They get a leg bye.
17.6: Nqobani Mokoena to Ruben Trumpelmann, Full again, outside off, smashed down to long off for just a single by Ruben Trumpelmann.
17.5: Nqobani Mokoena to JJ Smit, OUT! CAUGHT! Sounded sweet off the bat by JJ Smit, but it wasn't long enough. Nqobani Mokoena keeps it full and wide outside the off stump, asking the batter to hit to the bigger off side fence. Smit leans across and hammers it flat but straight towards Dewald Brevis at deep cover-point. Brevis makes no mistake and Namibia lose a wicket at an inopportune time.
17.4: Nqobani Mokoena to Gerhard Erasmus, Very full and outside off, Erasmus moves across early and mistimes the slog to long on, picking up a single.
17.3: Nqobani Mokoena to Gerhard Erasmus, DROPPED AND FOUR! A tough, tough chance and it is spilled by the fielder. Good length on middle, slightly pace off. Gerhard Erasmus goes across for the whippy shot again but gets a top edge down to fine leg. The fielder at short fine leg runs back and tries to take it awkwardly with the reverse cup. The ball hits the hands hard and rolls into the fence.
17.2: Nqobani Mokoena to Gerhard Erasmus, That's excellent running. A wide yorker from Mokoena, Erasmus digs it out through mid off and races back for the second run before the throw from the long off fielder comes in towards the keeper.
17.1: Nqobani Mokoena to Gerhard Erasmus, SIX! Probably the shot of the day. Pitched full and outside off, Gerhard Erasmus lunges across to the off side and whips it away across the line and miles over the square leg fence. 45 needed now off 17 balls.
19.6: Gerhard Erasmus to Eathan Bosch, SOUTH AFRICA FINISH ON 228/4! Darts it on a flatter trajectory, on the stumps, Eathan Bosch cannot quite get the width on offer and bunts it straight back at the bowler. 13 runs in the final over.
19.5: Gerhard Erasmus to Jordan Hermann, Full around off stump, sliding in with the arm. Hermann swings across the line, and the ball catches an inside edge that runs away to the right of short fine leg for a single.
19.4: Gerhard Erasmus to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! A snorter from Erasmus, which brings an end to Pretorius' fun in the middle. Erasmus nails the yorker to perfection, coming in from a wider angle and darting it in on a lower trajectory. Pretorius is a fraction late getting his bat down in time, and the stumps go cartwheeling. Regardless, it's been a special innings, and he makes the walk back to a loud ovation from the crowd. South Africa are 227/4, with two balls left.
19.3: Gerhard Erasmus to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, SIX! HUNDRED FOR LHUAN-DRE PRETORIUS! That's his maiden T20I century and he gets there, gallopping in just 52 balls. Full in length, in the wheelhouse, Lhuan-dre Pretorius clears the front leg, sits down on a knee and slog sweeps it powerfully over cow corner for a biggie to get to his milestone. He has surely given a very good account of himself to cement his place in the senior team.
19.2: Gerhard Erasmus to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, BEATEN! Pushed through, slower through the air, full and wide outside off. Lhuan-dre Pretorius goes for a big-booming drive over covers, but misses out.
19.1: Gerhard Erasmus to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, SIX! Career-best score now for Lhuan-dre Pretorius in the T20Is! Gerhard looks to go for the yorker, but lands nowhere near it. It is full in the slot and Lhuan-dre Pretorius pumps it out of the stadium, clearing long off for a mammoth six.
18.6: Ruben Trumpelmann to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Slams it on a length, outside off, Lhuan-dre Pretorius chops it off the back foot to widish extra cover for a single. What a penultimate over from Ruben Trumpelmann. Just 4 runs and a wicket from it.
18.5: Ruben Trumpelmann to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Excellent execution from Trumplemann. A length ball, slanted down leg side, following Pretorius as he backs away to create some room, and he ends up driving it straight back to the bowler.
18.4: Ruben Trumpelmann to Eathan Bosch, A low full toss, on the stumps, this is smashed through mid off for a single.
18.3: Ruben Trumpelmann to Rubin Hermann, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A brilliant take from Green behind the stumps and this is turning out to be a very decent period of play for the hosts. Ruben bowls a slower length ball, angling it down the leg stump line. Rubin Hermann shuffles across the stumps and goes for the scoop shot but cannot time the ball and nicks it to the right of the keeper. Zane Green flies to his right and snaps it fantastically with his right hand while being airborne. The 41-run stand is broken for the third wicket and South Africa are 213/3, with 9 balls remaining in the first innings.
18.2: Ruben Trumpelmann to Rubin Hermann, Bangs it short and on middle and leg. Rubin Hermann stands tall and heaves it between long on and deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs.
18.1: Ruben Trumpelmann to Rubin Hermann, Play and a miss! Yorker down leg, Rubin Hermann shuffles far across the stumps to play the scoop shot but fails to connect.
17.6: JJ Smit to Rubin Hermann, Nearly a yorker, outside off, Rubin Hermann can only squeeze it down to long off for a single. Good couple f overs for Namibia towards the backend. Just 14 runs have come in the last two overs for the Proteas.
17.5: JJ Smit to Rubin Hermann, Fires it down leg, on a fuller length. Rubin Hermann tries the reverse scoop, but misses out to connect.
17.4: JJ Smit to Rubin Hermann, FOUR! Inventive and highly effective! Smit misses the yorker this time and bowls a full ball, on off. Rubin Hermann switches the stance, takes the ball on the full and nails the reverse ramp over short third for a boundary.
17.3: JJ Smit to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Another brilliant yorker from Smit, outside off, Lhuan-dre Pretorius does not get under the ball properly and shovels it to the right of cover for a single.
17.2: JJ Smit to Rubin Hermann, Well-executed yorker on off, Rubin Hermann carves it to long off for a single.
17.1: JJ Smit to Rubin Hermann, Slower and fuller, outside off. Rubin Hermann tries to pick the bones out of it to loft it downtown, but misses to connect.
