    9.4 Fortuin breaks through! Spears the arm ball full on leg. Steenkamp looks to go big over the leg side after clearing his front leg. He misses. He was narrowly saved in Fortuin's previous over but not this time. End of a very good opening stand but will South Africa claw back from here? 84/1
    12.6 Should be out, yes. deep midwicket comes in, settles and takes it. This went right up, ample time for the fielder. Frylinck looking for the third straight six. Went across and looked to slug it on the rise over cow corner 116/2
    15.2 Three quick wickets and the skipper goes. Swept flat to deep-backward square. Hit off a length, on the rise. Decent timing, straight to the fielder 133/4
    14.1 So much power, yet that loftie floatie like a softie. Fullish at the stumps, Loftie-Eaton sees the flight on it and goes for the slog sweep. Gets virtually nothing on it. Pops up a few feet, keeper runs forward and takes it 123/3
    16.1 That is the plumbest of plumb lbws. Flat on middle, beats the reverse. Green was on one leg, sitting laterally. Looked to scrape it over short third. Missed completely 133/5

    16.3 Middle stump kicked out! That is the perfect block-hole ball. Offbreak at pace went under the bat and landed on the crease before hitting middle like it was a bowling pin. Smit wound up big, adjusted to hit along the ground through long-on. Missed it 133/6
    18.3 Appeal, yes given early. Another plumbest of plumbs. Jansen goes around to get his maiden international wicket. Yorker coming in towards leg, Trumpelmann's feet got stuck and he looked to whip it through midwicket. Got low, still missed it 157/7
    18.4 Two stumps out! Which ones? Slow-mo replay in, it's middle and off. Scholtz cleared the front leg but then was only worried about not getting hit. Wanted to guide it to deep third, hands went too far down 157/8
    19.6 Slow, wid and full, taken at cover to finish. Sad end to Namibia after a great start. Brassell seemed to have read that, waited and swung, didn't get much on it 163/9

    3.3 Smart catch by deep backward square leg running to his right and Pretorius is out of here! Short and slanting in to him. He seems to have nailed the pull. Far too well for his sake as he finds the lone fielder there 19/2
    2.3 Low catch at mid-off and Brassell has the first wicket! Sticks to his hard lengths. This one was around off. Hermann charges down to slap it over extra cover. Ends up slapping it towards Trumpelmann who takes a smart, diving catch 15/1
    17.6 Is that the game?! A full toss, of all balls, gets Brevis. Trumplemann runs through and leaps in delight. Two dots, Brevis looked to finish the four-run over on a high. Got a shin-high full toss around fifth stump. Brevis stood in front of middle and off and looked to drag it leg side with a slog. Top edge pops to short third, you could see the keeper jump as Brassell took the catch 133/6
    6.6 Castled! The best sight for a fast bowler Spears it on a length on off and middle. De Zorzi clears his front leg and looks to heave it across the line. Misses it completely and is clean bowled. South Africa are slipping here 39/3
    11.2 Huge wicket! No missing the stumps this time! Look at Trumplemann fly. Length ball, comes in with the angle from over the wicket. Hermann was on the back foot and looked to slap that through cover. Wrong angle and length for the shot. Namibia have a great chance to do a 2-0 on SA! 78/4
    13.2 Pulled... and taken at deep midwicket! Frylinck fumbled while trying to take the catch around the bread-basket, it popped out and went down low and slow. Had enough time to snaffle it. Shortish outside off, pulled flat 86/5

    18.4 Another brilliant yorker, too good for the new batter. Erasmus stabs the air with a punch. Has the confidence of someone who knows his team has the game effectively in the bag. This landed just outside leg and hit leg. Fortuin showed all poles and looked to jam it straight 136/7
    19.5 And it gets better! There's a wicket celebration to boot. Full ball around off, elevated drive goes only as far as long-on. Smiles continue 145/8
    19.6 Brilliant catch at deep midwicket. Namibia have their second win against South Africa in two T20Is! Cameras are out at the stands, flags being waved, players celebrating. Full ball at the stumps, Subrayen looked to slug it across the line. Sub felder flies across, takes it low 145/9
