Namibia, who were already out of the tournament, had a mountain to climb. Despite a solid start, the African side collapsed to 97 all out. Alex Volschenk (20) and Louren Steenkamp (23), did both made starts, but due to the quality of Pakistan’s bowling attack, no one else was able to score runs of significant note.
Usman Tariq (4-16) and Shadab Khan (3-19) were the key wicket-takers in the Namibia innings.
