Ruben Trumpelmann to Dewald Brevis
OUT! TAKEN! Oh my goodness. This is a huge turn of events for both sides. Dewald Brevis was looking like the only hope South Africa had, but Trumpelmann stood up big time to get this crucial wicket.  He looks for another yorker but ends up spilling a low full toss outside off. Dewald Brevis looks to heave it across, but induces a thick outside edge. The ball flies toward short third, where Jack Brassell scoops the catch.

OUT! TAKEN! Wicket number two for JJ Smit. Fuller in length, around off stump. Mokoena backs away deep in his crease, going for the big slog, but doesn't get underneath it. Mistimed, and it's straight to long on. Ruben settles under it and takes a comfortable catch.

JJ Smit to Prenelan Subrayen
OUT! TAKEN! Namibia has done it again. They have defended their fortress against South Africa and the visitors' desire to mark their presence in Windhoek have to extend further. Full-length delivery, angling across, outside off. Subrayen walks across and just uses his hands, going for the whip, but doesn't middle it. The ball balloons toward deep mid-wicket, and Balt runs to his right, snaffles the catch and rolls over with it. Namibia have beaten South Africa by 18 runs.
