Their combined efforts got the team total up to 125 after which Fourie was dislodged via run out in the 32nd over. Liebisch went on to establish a 28-run partnership for the fourth wicket with Lesiba Ngoepe (6), but both batsmen were dismissed
in successive overs – Ngoepe at the hands of Brandon Viret in the 36th over, and Liebisch off http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bernard-Martinus-Scholtz-c47802 in the very next.
By this point the Easterns were at 159 for 5, but received another solid contribution in the form of Jurie Snyman’s unbeaten 76. Aided by Ulricht van Duyker (21) and wicketkeeper batsman Dylan Bennie (6*), Jurie Snyman got the team up to a final total of
262 by the end of 50 overs.
In response, Namibia’s top-order stepped up to the challenge brilliantly, and laid a solid foundation which got the team over the finish line at the expense of just 3 wickets.

at any point, and their unbeaten 29-run partnership got the team safely up to 264, with 7 wickets and 73 balls remaining.
