IRE
125/8 (20)

Namibia won by 8 wickets

Gerhard Erasmus [Namibia Captain]: We said in the previous press conference that we are in a pretty tight ship. I think we are a small cricketing nation. It's a very proud moment and it means a lot whether it's to a small number of people. I think the achievement is one heck of a one and I think we should be proud of ourselves tonight. I count on Wiese to stand up when the pressure is on in a tough game like this.  We both did it tonight and hopefully, we can continue this throughout the tournament.

David Wiese: It’s completely overwhelming. I don't this award should be for me. It should be for Erasmus for his brilliant knock. It was a proper captain’s innings. I'm accepting this but I think it belongs to him. A lot of hard work has been there behind the scenes from the boys. There were a few minor blips but overall, it was a strong performance
