Runs were hardly flowing at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground in Oman today as Namibia edged out the hosts in a low-scoring Men's World Cup League 2 game.

After being out in, Namibia were bowled out for 169 with Malan Kruger's 39 their top score. ODI debutant Jan Balt contributed an unbeaten 35, whilst Samay Shrivastav was the pick of the bowlers, taking 4-56.

Oman next play on Wednesday against the USA with Namibia taking on the same opponents on Friday.
