After winning the toss, the Dutch chose to field first in a bid to restrict their opposition on a small total.
However, their plans went awry when the Namibian openers SJ Baard and R http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Graham-Robert-Cowdrey-c60631 Schoor gave their side an outstanding start of 45 runs as the two batsmen challenged the bowlers right from the get go.
