Namibia continues impressive run

Namibia continued its impressive run in the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier with a seven-wicket win, this time over Kenya at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

After opting to bat first, Kenya was bowled out for 108 in 18.4 overs. In its reply, Namibia chased down the target in 16.3 overs to end at 109-3.

Earlier Duncan Allan (40) and Collins Obuya (31) shared a 71 run stand for the second wicket for Kenya. But thereafter there was a collapse. For Namibia, Louis Klazinga (4-9) and Christi Viljoen (2-5) were the key wicket-takers.

The chase for Namibia was quite easy as opener Raymond van Schoor (49 n.o.) held the innings together to script yet another win for Namibia.

Louis Klazinga won the Man of the Match award.

"We started off slowly by conceding a few boundaries. It was difficult to bowl seam up. But we summed up the conditions very quickly. Luckily it worked well for us. I am very happy with the show. It was a good all-round performance by us. To pull it back from the position they were in at 84-1 was great for us. We batted very well and knocked off the runs pretty easily. The morale in the camp is very good. We are taking it as it comes and it has been going good for us," said Klazinga.
