15 March Namibia v Canada (Windhoek)
Canada v Netherlands - Match abandoned
Windhoek, 11 March.
Canada
Netherlands
Mopping up operations were in vain in Windhoek (Cricket Namibia)
Poor weather continues to plague the games in Windhoek with overnight thunderstorms making a 7.30 scheduled start impossible. Indeed such were the ground conditions the match has been abandoned without a ball bowled.
Namibia tied with Canada who won the Super Over by 2 wickets
Windhoek, 9 March.
Canada 167/8 (39 overs: N Dhaliwal 54, H Thaker 26, Y Samra 24; B Scholtz 3-26, S Fouché 3-37)
Namibia 174 (39 overs: G Erasmus 41, D Leicher 20, M Kruger 20; D Heyliger 3-45, P Kumar 2-15, H Thaker 2-39) (Delayed start - Match reduced to 42 overs. Rain ended Canada's innings after 39 overs. Nambia's target -175 in 39 overs)
A diving Dylan Leicher is inches short and the game is tied (ICC)
Canada’s openers Navneet Dhaliwal and Yuvraj Samra battled through the opening overs in an opening partnership of 54. 82/2 at the halfway stage but with wickets falling to Scholtz and Shaun Fouché there was little chance for any acceleration before the threat of rain brought the covers on and an end to the innings three overs early. In the chase Namibian skipper Gerard Erasmus and JJ Smit both fell at 111 and with boundaries drying up even a modest 5 an over from the last 10 seemed too big an ask for the host’s tail. Somehow they got it down to 7 required off Sana’s final over - 0,0,2,4,0, then Leichman parried the ball back to Sana and was just short as the bowler broke the stumps. Sana bowled the Super Over taking 2-2 plus a leg-bye. Not enough as Smit goes for 1,2,4, Pargat Singh with the winning boundary.
Namibia lost to Netherlands by 53 runs
Windhoek, 7 March.
Netherlands 159 (39.1 overs: T Nidamanuru 47, M O'Dowd 43, V Singh 37; B Scholtz 4-15, JJ Smit 2-16, G Erasmus 2-27)
Namibia 106 (30 overs: G Erasmus 31, R Trumpleman 25*; Z Lion-Cachet 3-15, A Dutt 3-28, K Klein 2-22) (Delayed start - Match reduced to 40 overs)
A day for spin in Windhoek (Cricket Namibia)
Netherlands openers Vikram Singh and Max O’Dowd battled through to the halfway stage of the reduced game posting 84 before both fell in quick succession. The innings turned into a procession after that with only Teja Nidamanuru offering any resistance but thirty-two precious runs added for the final wicket gave the Netherlands something to defend and defend it they did with some ease. Two wickets for Kyle Klein in his opening over, then three from off-spinner Ayran Dutt removed the middle order, before Zach Lion-Cachet wrapped things up with ten overs to spare.
Netherlands v Canada - no result
Wanderers, Windhoek, 5 March.
Canada 0/0 (0 overs)
Netherlands
No play was possible after the Netherlands won the toss and elected to field in this first of the Tri-series involving today's teams plus Namibia. Friday's fixture will see the hosts in action against the Netherlands.
Oman lost to USA by 57 runs
Al Amerat, Muscat, 18 February.
USA 122 (35.3 overs: M Kumar 47*; S Ahmed 3-20, K Aleem 2-22 S Shrivastava 2-41)
Oman 65 (25.3 overs: H Mirza 29; N Kenjige 5-11, Y Mohammad 2-10, M Kumar 2-17)
Nosthush Kenjige took five wickets for the USA (USA Cricket)
First blood to the hosts in this top of the table clash, winning the Toss and reducing the USA to 31/5, with three wickets for Shakeel Ahmed and two for Aamir Kaleen. In the end all five Omani bowlers took wickets with the only resistance coming from Milind Kumar who did what he could to marshall the tail to some sort of total. And amazingly it’s more than enough! Hammad Mirza the only batter to reach double figures as five fell to Nosthush Kenjige’s slow left arm spin. Like snow off a ditch with final six wickets falling for just eight runs. USA four points clear at the top of the table as the round of matches ends.
Oman beat Namibia by 2 wickets
Al Amerat, Muscat, 16 February.
Namibia 99 (33.1 overs: J Loftie-Eaton 30, G Erasmus 15, R Trumplemann 14; S Ahmad 4-25, A Kaleem 2-16, J Odera 2-24)
Oman 100/8 (22.4 overs; A Kaleem 21; G Erasmus 5-34, B Scholtz 2-31)
The victorius Oman squad (Cricket Oman)
A disastrous start by Namibia after choosing to bat, slumping to 19/4 as the Omani opening bowlers, Ahmad and Odera each picked up two wickets. Jan Loftie-Eaton battled through to the twenty fifth over but was the seventh wicket to fall with the total at 74. Two more for Shakeel Ahmad leaves Namibia struggling to reach 100, and despite 14 from Ruben Trumplemann they don't quite get there. Oman though were made to fight all the way as five wickets from skipper Gerard Erasmus had them in trouble at 87 for 8 but they managed to scramble over the line.
Namibia lost to USA by 70 runs
Al Amerat, Muscat, 14 February.
USA 268/9 (50 overs: A Gous 83, M Patel 53, S Krishnamurthi 41, A Jones 31; B Scholtz 5-22)
Namibia 198 (42.3 overs; Z Green 65, R Trumplemann 55, J Loftie-Eaton 28; S Netravalkar 3-41, M Kumar 3-42, J Singh 2-32)
Bernard Scholtz (CricketEurope)
USA skipper Monak Patel and Andries Gous added 96 for the second wicket after being asked to bat first. Late hitting Sanjay Krishnamurthi and Aaron Jones has set Namibia a challenging total. Bernard Scholtz with five wickets tor just 22 runs in his ten over spell. Namibia lost early wickets and despite half centuries from Zane Green and Ruben Trumplemann they were always behind in the chase. Three wickets apiece for Netravalkar and Kumar sealing a 70-run win,
Oman beat USA by 7 wickets.
Al Amerat, Muscat, 12 February.
USA 151(41.2 overs; S Mukkamalla 80; S Ahmad 4-26, J Odedra 3-23, S Shrivastata 2-34)
Oman 152/3 (45.5 overs: J Singh 82*, A Kaleem 28: H Singh 2-20)
Oman lost to Namibia by 23 runs
Al Amerat, Muscat, 10 February.
Namibia 169 (46.3 overs; M Kruger 39, J Balt 35*, J Kotze 29; S Shrivastat 4-56, S Mehmood 2-15, S Ahmad 2-26)
Oman 146 (37.2 overs; Jatinder Singh 25; JN Loftie-Eaton 2-19, JJ Smit 2-19, B Scholtz 2-26, R Trumpelmann 2-32, G Erasmus 2-42)
It looked like a routine chase as Oman reached 58 for 1 in pursuit of their target but it all went wrong. Two wickets apiece for Jan Loftie-Eaton, JJ Smit, Bernard Scholtz, Rubin Trumpelmann and Gerhard Erasmus sealing a 23-run verdict.
USA beat Namibia by 114 runs
Al Amerat, Muscat, 8 February.
USA 293/8 (43 overs: A Gous 76, M Patel 65, M Kumar 54, S Mukkamalla 31, S Van Shalkwyk 21*; JJ Smit 4-46, B Scholtz 3-47)
Namibia 179 (40.2 overs: M Kruger 32, S Fouche 22, R Trumpleman 21; M Kumar 4-48, H Singh 2-35) (Delayed start - match reduced to 43 overs. Teams arrival delayed by traffic!)
Right call, wrong decision by Namibia at the Toss (ICC)
Andries Gous and skipper Monak Patel added 110 for the second wicket but three wickets from JJ Smit stalled the USA's progress mid-innings. Milind Kumar takes the attack to Namibia with 54 off 34 (6x4,2x6) and USA set Nambia a challenging total in the reduced overs game. The Namibian chase simply never got going against a disciplined USA attack. Big win for the USA which reinforces their position at the top of the table.
