World Cup League 2
Namibia lost to Netherlands by 7 wickets
Windhoek, 13 March.
Namibia 148 (44.5 overs: G Erasmus 63; K Klein 3-14, A Dutt 3-28, P van Meekeren 3-30)
Netherlands 152/3 (37 overs: C Ackermann 54*, S Edwards 52*; B Scholtz 2-27)
Max O'Dowd is bowled by Bernard Scholtz (ICC)
A sixty run partnership between skipper Gerhard Erasmus and Malan Kruger was all Namibia had to show for their decision to bat first. Three early wickets for Aryan Dutt and three also for both Kyle Klein, who made the initial breakthrough, and Paul van Meekeren who wrapped the innings up, the last six wickets falling for just 32 runs. In the chase Bernard Scholtz caused a wobble with the wickets of Zach Lion-Cachet and Max O’Dowd in quick succession. From 40/3 Colin Ackermann and Scott Edwards steered the Oranje to the win and second place in the table, their unbroken partnership worth 112, both completing half centuries in the process.
