17.3: Usman Tariq to Willem Myburgh, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! That's it, it's all over for Namibia and Pakistan are officially through to the Super 8s, the final team to do so. Usman Tariq bowls this one a bit flatter and bowls it short and wide. Willem Myburgh goes for the cut but there's a bit of an extra bounce. He ends up edging it behind, where Usman Khan takes another sharp catch to his right. It is reviewed but UltraEdge confirms the thick edge and PAKISTAN WIN BY 102 RUNS.

17.2: Usman Tariq to Jack Brassell, Flatter delivery on off and middle, punched down to long on for a single.

0
17.1: Usman Tariq to Bernard Scholtz, OUT! TIMBER! Another wrong'un from Usman Tariq and he has three wickets to his name, just like Shadab Khan. Tariq brings out the googly, landing it slightly full and around off. Bernard Scholtz leans ahead to drive on the off side but is beaten in the flight. The ball turns back in to clatter into the middle stump and Pakistan are now just on wicket away from the win.

16.2: Shadab Khan to Zane Green, OUT! CAUGHT! Looked like a decent hit from Zane Green but that's a terrific catch in the deep from Saim Ayub. Shadab Khan tosses the ball up, full on middle and leg. Green sits down to sweep and batters it flat over backward square leg. Saim runs in from the deep and puts in a lunging dive to snaffle it with both hands. Difficult to pick it under the lights and the replays confirm that it is a fair catch. Namibia are now 8 down.
