Adds that the pitch held up a bit and tried to bowl in good areas. Mentions that they had a perfect start and gives credit to Ruben for that.

David Wiese took 3 while Gerhard Erasmus took a couple as well. Bernard Scholtz

Morgan joins him and says that the pitch will get slower as the game goes on and the pacers will use the slower balls more and more.

The skipper of Oman, Aqib Ilyas says they will look to set a good target on board and put pressure on Namibia. Adds that playing Namibia before the tournament would surely help them as it gives a good idea of the opponents strength and weakness. Metions that all the planning has been done and it now time to execute their plans. 

Namibia's captain, Gerhard Erasmus says that they will bowl first due to the rain around and will look to gather some information early on. Adds that they have prepared really well and will look to showcase that now. Adds that it is a good thing that they have played against Oman recently and ends by saying that you need to execute well to earn points.

We are almost ready for the start of the game but first, the two sets of players will lineup for their respective national anthems. It will be the national anthem of Oman first followed by the national anthem of Namibia.

PITCH REPORT - Matthew Hayden is pitchside. He says that there is a bit of wind coming in from the East coast and in general, the boundaries are small all across the ground. Morgan joins him and says that the pitch will get slower as the game goes on and the pacers will use the slower balls more and more.

The skipper of Oman, Aqib Ilyas says they will look to set a good target on board and put pressure on Namibia. Adds that playing Namibia before the tournament would surely help them as it gives a good idea of the opponents strength and weakness. Metions that all the planning has been done and it now time to execute their plans. 

Namibia's captain, Gerhard Erasmus says that they will bowl first due to the rain around and will look to gather some information early on. Adds that they have prepared really well and will look to showcase that now. Adds that it is a good thing that they have played against Oman recently and ends by saying that you need to execute well to earn points.
