| 0.6 : 0.6: Josh Hazlewood to Michael van Lingen, FOUR! Edged away! On a back of a length and in the channel on off, Michael van Lingen throws his hands at it and gets an outside edge that flies over first slip for the first boundary of the game. |
| 1.5 : 1.5: Marcus Stoinis to Michael van Lingen, FOUR! Lovely shot! Pitched up by Stoinis and it swings back into the left-hander, on middle and leg, Michael van Lingen clears his front leg and drives it to the right of mid on for a boundary. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: Josh Hazlewood to Niko Davin, OUT! TAKEN! Josh Hazlewood strikes early! Niko Davin never looked comfortable and he departs now. Bowls it in the channel on off, on a short of a good length, Niko Davin gives himself room by moving to the leg side and tries to thrash it through the off side. Gets a good chunk of it but hits it aerially and straight to backward point. Glenn Maxwell takes a sharp reverse cup catch in front of his face. |
| 3.4: Pat Cummins to Jan Frylinck, OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! Immediate impact for Pat Cummins! |
| 4.1 : 4.1: Josh Hazlewood to Michael van Lingen, OUT! GONE! Glenn Maxwell takes it on the second attempt and Josh Hazlewood has his second. Namibia in more trouble. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: Nathan Ellis to JJ Smit, OUT! LBW! Brilliant review from Australia! Nathan Ellis was confident and the technology proved him right there. A big shout for LBW but this looks to be going down leg with the angle! Looks high as well. Steams in from over the wicket and angles it into the right-hander, on a good length, around the pads, JJ Smit stays rooted in his crease and looks to clip it away. Gets beaten on the inside edge and the ball strikes him high on the back pad. There is nothing on |
| 8.5 : 8.5: Adam Zampa to Zane Green, OUT! A loud appeal and the finger is raised. Half the side back in the hut for Namibia now. They are in all sorts of trouble. They continue to lose wickets and the runs are not coming too. Full and on middle. Green looks to sweep but misses and is hit on the pad. That is as plumb as it gets. |
| 9.1 : 9.1: Pat Cummins to Merwe Erasmus, FOUR! Slammed away! That is a seriously good shot and Namibia need a lot of these. Outside off. Erasmus stands tall and slams it through covers. Lovely stroke. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: Adam Zampa to David Wiese, OUT! c Josh Hazlewood b Adam Zampa. |
| 12.3: Adam Zampa to Ruben Trumpelmann, SIX! That is a monster. Massive hit. A rare bad ball and it is put away. It needed to be put away. A full toss on middle. This is heaved over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. |
| 12.4 : 12.4: Adam Zampa to Ruben Trumpelmann, OUT! Taken! Trumpelman falls. Shortish and on middle. This skids through. Ruben looks to pull. It goes pre off the toe end and it is taken by Maxwell at deep mid-wicket. Zampa has his revenge. |
| 12.6 : 12.6: Adam Zampa to Bernard Scholtz, OUT! b Adam Zampa. |
| 13.5 : 13.5: Josh Hazlewood to Merwe Erasmus, FOUR! Just short and Namibia are one short of fifty. Short and outside off. Erasmus yet again stays leg side of the delivery. He slaps it over cover and this goes for a one-bounce boundary. |
| 14.3 : 14.3: Nathan Ellis to Merwe Erasmus, FOUR! Done in by the spin. A full toss on the pads. This is hit towards fine leg. Josh moves to his left but this spins away to his right after bounce and he fails to stop it. |
| 14.6 : 14.6: Nathan Ellis to Merwe Erasmus, FOUR! Uses the pace really well. A little edgy but he won't care! Shorter and around off. Erasmus looks to guide it down to third man but it goes off the top edge and down to the third man fence. Good over for Namibia. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: Pat Cummins to Merwe Erasmus, SIX! This time nails it. That is a strong hit. Shorter and on middle. He moves in this time and pulls it over the square leg fence. |
| 16.2 : 16.2: Marcus Stoinis to Merwe Erasmus, OUT! c Glenn Maxwell b Marcus Stoinis. |
| 16.6 : 16.6: Marcus Stoinis to Ben Shikongo, OUT! THAT IS A FINE CATCH! End of the Namibian innings. They are all out for 72! On middle. Ben looks to flick but it goes off the leading edge as he closes the face of the bat early. David runs to his left from mid on, dives and takes it. |
| 0.3 : 0.3: Ruben Trumpelmann to David Warner, FOUR! Short and punished! |
| 1.1 : 1.1: David Wiese to David Warner, FOUR! Width offered and David Warner cashes in! Starts a bit too wide and on a short of a good length, David Warner does not miss out as he frees his arms and thumps it through covers for a boundary. |
| 1.2 : 1.2: David Wiese to David Warner, FOUR! Width offered again and the result is the same! Angling away, on a good length, outside off, David Warner gets his weight on the front foot and drives it between cover and mid off for four more runs. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: David Wiese to David Warner, SIX! David Warner is on an early charge! David Wiese goes short and it is around middle but it is not short enough. David Warner is expecting a short ball as he goes deep in the crease and swivels to hammer the pull over deep backward square leg for a biggie. |
| 1.4 : 1.4: David Wiese to David Warner, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! The fun is over for David Warner! Going across the left-hander, on a length, outside off, David Warner sets deep in his crease and tries to go over mid off this time. The bat twists in his hands on contact and skies it high in the air towards mid off. Ruben Trumpelmann settles under the skier and takes a good reverse-cup catch. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: Ben Shikongo to Travis Head, FOUR! Skillfully done! Switches to around the wicket does Shikongo and pulls his length back a touch, around off, Travis Head waits on it and plays it late to guide it to the left of short third for his first boundary. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: Ben Shikongo to Travis Head, SIX! Belted down the ground with authority! |
| 2.4 : 2.4: Ben Shikongo to Travis Head, FOUR! Too short and rightfully punished! Shikongo bangs it into the deck but it is way too short, on off, Travis Head swivels nicely in the crease and dispatches it over mid-wicket for four more runs. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: Ben Shikongo to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! Up and over! Pitches it up in search of swing, fuller and outside off, Mitchell Marsh uses his feet and lofts it with a straight bat over mid off to get off the mark with a boundary. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: Merwe Erasmus to Travis Head, SIX! You just can't bowl there to Travis Head! A real rank-hop from Erasmus and it is around middle and leg, Travis Head rocks on the back foot and nails the pull over deep mid-wicket for a 91-metre maximum. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: Ruben Trumpelmann to Travis Head, FOUR! Clever batting! Trumpelmann digs it in short, over middle, Travis Head gives himself a bit of room and uses the pace well to ramp it over short third for a boundary. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Ruben Trumpelmann to Travis Head, FOUR! Not quite off the middle of the bat but gets enough on it does Head. Fuller and slower, on off, Travis Head leans on it and drags the lofted stroke over mid on for yet another boundary. 17 runs away now Australia. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: Ruben Trumpelmann to Travis Head, FOUR! Three fours in a row and Head is getting this done in a hurry. At pace, on a length, on the off pole, Travis Head stays leg side of the ball and with a still head, drills it between cover and mid off for four more runs. |
| 5.2 : 5.2: Jack Brassell to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! Stand and deliver! This is on a hard length, on off, Mitchell Marsh stands tall and gets his hands nice and high before punching it through point for a boundary. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: Jack Brassell to Mitchell Marsh, SIX! Picked the bones out of that did the Aussie skipper! |
| 5.4 : 5.4: Jack Brassell to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! As easy as you like! Mitchell Marsh with the winning runs and Australia are through to the Super 8 stage. Jack Brassell serves it on a length, around off, Mitchell Marsh gets on the front foot and drives it between cover and mid off for a boundary to take his side past the finishing line. Australia knock off the target in just 5.4 overs at the loss of a solitary wicket. |
