Kenya won the toss and elected to field first – a smart move, judging by the form of their bowlers. In addition to ensuring a steady fall of wickets, the bowlers’ performances were characterised by impressive economy – Nelson Odhiambo claimed 3 and gave away only 31 in 10 overs, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Otieno-Ngoche-c65977 gave away just 26 in 10, in addition to claiming 2 wickets.
Openers Wian http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sarel-Francois-Burger-c88808 (7) was run out, and by the 9th over, Namibia were at 15 for 3.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nelson-Mandela-Odhiambo-c79212 took up the charge from there onwards, sending all three batsmen back to the pavilion by the 24th over, leaving Namibia at 80 for 6.
Out of the remainder of the batting order, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Raymond-van-Schoor-c84385 (22) and Christi Viljoen (15) were the only batsmen who managed double-digit scores. Nicolaas Scholtz (6) and wicketkeeper batsman Gerhard Erasmus (9) were both sent packing by Ngoche for paltry scores.
By the 44th over, with the dismissal of Viljoen at the hands of Lucas Oluoch, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Louis-Klazinga-c73186 (6*) was the only batsman left at the crease, and Namibia posted a final total of 129.

Openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AA-Obanda-c877 (18) posted a combined total of 35 runs on the board, but Klazinga intervened to eliminate Allan in the 7th over, and Obanda followed in the very next over, sent back to the pavilion by Viljoen.
