19.6: Ali Khan to Dylan Leicher, A dot ball it will be to finish. Short and outside off, Dylan Leicher looks to slap it through the off side but misses. USA WIN BY 31 RUNS!

0
19.5: Ali Khan to JJ Smit, OUT! CAUGHT! That will come as a relief for Ali Khan. Something for him from this game at last. A good short ball, around middle, JJ Smit goes for the hook, but there is extra bounce on the ball. Smit is cramped for room and only manages to get a glove on the ball. It lobs up in the air and the keeper, Shayan Jahangir trots back a couple of steps to complete the formalities. A fighting knock from Smit.

4
19.4: Ali Khan to JJ Smit, FOUR! In the air, but in the gap. On a length, outside off, JJ Smit opens the face of his bat and steers it uppishly, over backward point for a boundary. Moves to 31 (22).

0
19.3: Ali Khan to JJ Smit, That's a perfect delivery. Full and right on the popping crease around off and middle stump, JJ Smit just about manages to dig it out.

1
19.2: Ali Khan to Ruben Trumpelmann, How has Ali Khan managed to miss from there? Another yorker, tails back into the middle stump. Ruben Trumpelmann stays back and hammers it straight back at the non-striker. JJ Smit fails to get out of the way and gets a blow on the pads. He is also well outside his crease as the ball rolls to the bowler. Khan opts to underarm the throw from a few yards out and misses. The batters also get a single on the overthrow.

1
19.1: Ali Khan to JJ Smit, Just a single. A yorker on middle and leg stump, Smit goes deep in the crease and drills it down to long on for one.

2
18.6: Shadley van Schalkwyk to Ruben Trumpelmann, Full and wide outside off, Trumpelmann carves this wide of long off but will get just a couple. 13 from the over and it will be 4-0-30-2 for Shadley van Schalkwyk in this match.

1
18.5: Shadley van Schalkwyk to JJ Smit, Outside off, full again, lofted down to long off for a single.

6
18.4: Shadley van Schalkwyk to JJ Smit, SIX! CLUBBED! Going down fighting, is Smit. On a length, outside off, JJ Smit hangs back and swings it cleanly straight back over the sightscreen.

0
18.3: Shadley van Schalkwyk to JJ Smit, Nailed in the blockhole. Full and around the sixth stump line at 125 kph, it is the wide yorker and JJ Smit fails to jam it out.

2
18.2: Shadley van Schalkwyk to JJ Smit, Two more and USA won't mind that at all. Full and wide outside off, Smit squeezes it away wide to the right of deep point and canters back for the second run.

2
18.1: Shadley van Schalkwyk to JJ Smit, Hit firmly by JJ Smit but not firm enough. A full-pitched delivery on off, Smit hangs back and pummels it to the right of long off for a couple of runs.

End of over 18
NAM149/4
NAM Batting Z Green 18(13) Smit 15(14)

4
17.6: Saurabh Netravalkar to Zane Green, FOUR! Creativity, but is it too late? A full toss, down the leg side, Zane Green brings out the reverse and scoops it over short third for a boundary. 9 from the over and Saurabh Netravalkar finishes with bowling figures of 4-0-27-1.

1
17.5: Saurabh Netravalkar to JJ Smit, Very full, wide outside off, JJ Smit steers this behind point for a run.

1
17.4: Saurabh Netravalkar to Zane Green, Very full, outside off, Zane Green leans and works it through mid-wicket for a single.

1
17.3: Saurabh Netravalkar to JJ Smit, Smit walks past the off stump and the bowler bowls a full ball wide outside the off stump. This is squeezed away to covers for a single.

1
17.2: Saurabh Netravalkar to Zane Green, A review burnt by USA! Very full and angled into the pads, Zane Green shuffles to the off side and looks to flick but seems to have missed it. The ball goes off the pads to mid-wicket and the batters cross over. There is a half-hearted appeal for LBW, which is turned down. However, the keeper seems confident and the review is taken. UltraEdge shows a spike as the ball passes the inside edge and it stays Not Out. Just a single then.

1
17.1: Saurabh Netravalkar to JJ Smit, DROPPED! A tough chance put down by Shubham Ranjane. Banged in a bit shorter and on off, JJ Smit backs away a touch and slashes it over backward point. Ranjane is a bit slow to race towards it and just can't reach it on the lunging dive. The ball bounces into the hands and pops out as the batters get a single.

4
19.5: Gerhard Erasmus to Sanjay Krishnamurthi, FOUR! Second boundary of the over and USA REACH THEIR HIGHEST SCORE IN T20 WORLD CUPS!

The previous highest score for the States was 197/3 against Canada in Dallas, in the 2024 edition.

1
19.4: Gerhard Erasmus to Shubham Ranjane, Outside off, punched down to long off for a run.

4
19.3: Gerhard Erasmus to Shubham Ranjane, FOUR! No wasting time! Short, around middle and off, Shubham Ranjane shifts his body weight back and pulls it between deep mid-wicket and long on, splitting both!

0
19.2: Gerhard Erasmus to Milind Kumar, OUT! CAUGHT! 87 is usually an unlucky number for Australia, but it has worked for Namibia on this occasion as they break the mammoth 87-run stand. Tossed up, around off, Milind Kumar steps out and looks to go down the ground, but is not to the pitch of the ball. Miscues it towards long off where JJ Smit makes no mistake. Decent hand by Milind comes to an end and USA ARE 190/4 AFTER 19.2 OVERS!

1
19.1: Gerhard Erasmus to Sanjay Krishnamurthi, Bowled wide outside off, from around the wicket, with a round arm, Sanjay Krishnamurthi gets across and pulls it towards long on for a single.

4
18.3: Ruben Trumpelmann to Sanjay Krishnamurthi, FOUR! UP AND OVER! Short and wide outside off, Sanjay Krishnamurthi throws his bat at it and gets a thick outside edge, which flies over short third for a boundary! The stand moves to 83 (41) while Krishnamurthi is now on 61 (28).

1
18.2: Ruben Trumpelmann to Milind Kumar, Very full, around middle, Kumar backs away to the leg side and manages to get it to the left of the bowler through mid on for a single.
