| 4.6 : 4.6: Basil Hameed to Nicol Loftie-Eaton, OUT! LBW! The skipper's decision to keep Hameed on for his third over does wonders this time. Namibia lose their third wicket. It is not what they had envisioned for themselves. UAE are right on top here. It is floated, around middle. Nicol Loftie-Eaton goes for the sweep but misses it completely. The ball though straightens a bit and pings him on his thigh pads. There is a loud appeal but he umpire is not interested. Hameed convinces his skipper and th |

| 19.4 : 19.4: Muhammad Waseem to David Wiese, OUT! CAUGHT! Muhammad Waseem is delighted but so are a few Dutch fans in the crowd. This should be the final nail in the coffin.

Bernard Scholtz is the new man in. |
