India Vs Namibia – T20 World Cup 2021 Match #42 Quick Review!

India Vs Namibia Quick Review – India deliver victory on Ravi Shastri-Bharat Arun-Sridhar-Captain Kohli era.

Final game of the Super 12s in the T20 World Cup.

Match Details, Scorecard, & Video Highlights

Scorecard: India Vs Scotland Video Highlights

Toss: India won the toss and chose to field first.

Venue: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, UAE

Umpires: Chris Brown & Richard Illingworth

What Actually Happened

  • Winner: India won by 9 wickets
  • Scores: Namibia 132/8 India 136/1
  • Player of the Match: Ravindra Jadeja 3/16
  • Best Figures
    • Ravindra Jadeja (4-0-16-3), Ravichandran Ashwin (4-0-20-3)
    • Jan Frylinck (2-0-19-2)
  • Most Runs
    • David Wiese 26 (25)
    • Rohit Sharma 56 (37), KL Rahul 54* (36)

Moments of The Day: Same Story, Different Opposition

This match was similar to the India-Scotland match. Spinners choked the Associate nation, while Rohit-Rahul finished the rest.

  • Stephan Baard & Michael van Lingen started positively, scoring 33 in just 4.3 overs. However Bumrah and Jadeja soon reduced Namibia to 39/3. Jadeja was good, but the pick of the bowlers was Ashwin for me – The bowled off Green and couple of edges to slips were proper Test match off spin.
  • Wiese’s 26, along with Frylinck & Trumpelmann’s finishing helped Namibia to a competitive total. Altogether, David Wiese ended up as the fourth highest run-scorer at the end of the Super 12s with 227 runs, best of 66*, average of 45.40 & 127.50 SR. Not bad for someone representing Namibia for the first time.
  • Since the Afghanistan game, 4 players have had standout performances for Team India:
    • Jadeja: 1/19, 3/16, 3/15
    • Ashwin: 2/14, 1/29, 3/20
    • Sharma: 74, 30, 56
    • Rahul: 69, 50, 54*
  • While Rahul & Sharma almost killed the chase with a beautiful highlight package, Suryakumar Yadav was promoted ahead of Virat Kohli. A classic 25* (19) followed including an inside out shot and a pull. When asked later about the move, Kohli responded with, “Surya didn’t get much game time,…, and it’s a nice [World Cup] memory of him to take back.

Broken Cricket Dream of the Day: The Ravi Shastri Era Ends

  • Even though India did not win an ICC trophy during his tenure, India made large strides, especially in Test cricket. R Sridhar improved fielding standards all around and Bharat Arun is credited for the rise of India’s fast bowling attack around the globe. Ravi Shastri instilled the confidence which was evident in the home/away England series & the 2 series victories overseas against Australia, especially Gabba 2021 (rising from 36 All Out). An almost 2.0 W/L ratio across formats is unprecedented for an Indian coach.
  • He also mentioned that not having enough rest between the IPL and the World T20 attributed to not being switched on during crunch situations and pressure matches early on.
  • In any case, I will leave you with his own quote from today, “Sometimes in life, it’s not about all you accomplish, it’s about what you overcome.” Beautiful.

Have a great journey ahead coach! Whether that is coaching in the IPL or back to the commentary! Would also love to see a more free Virat Kohli.

New Zealand Vs Namibia – T20 World Cup 2021 Match #36 Quick Review!

New Zealand Vs Namibia Quick Review – NZ not perfect but finishers ensure victory.

With a lower NRR than Afghanistan, their final game is now a must win despite already winning 3 in 4.

Match Details, Scorecard, & Video Highlights

Scorecard: New Zealand Vs Scotland  Video Highlights

Toss: Namibia won the toss and chose to field first.

Venue: Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah, UAE

Umpires: Paul Reiffel & Paul Wilson

What Actually Happened

  • Winner: New Zealand won by 52 runs
  • Scores: New Zealand 163/4 Scotland 111/7
  • Player of the Match: Jimmy Neesham 35* (23) & 1-0-6-1
  • Best Figures
    • Bernard Schotlz (3-0-15-1)
    • Tim Southee (4-0-15-2)
  • Most Runs
    • Glenn Phillips 39* (21)
    • Michael Van Lingen 25 (25)

Moments of The Day: Phillips, Neesham Solidify NZ’s Case

  • NZ’s openers started well with a 30 run partnership in 4 overs before Guptill was caught out. In general, every batter in the NZ side contributed but at a slow SR.
    • Guptill (100), Mitchell (126.66), Williamson (112), Conway (94.44)
  • It was Glenn Phillips (SR 185.71) & Jimmy Neesham (152.17) with a 76* (36) partnership that made sure NZ finished strongly.
  • Tim Southee is not the first bowler you think of for T20s. However, he manages to take wickets somehow (only one of few bowlers with 100+ Tests, ODI, & T20I wickets). A 4-0-15-2 set the tone with a slow powerplay and Namibia could not recover the finishing margin.

Broken Cricket Dream of the Day: Namibia Lose the Plot Again

  • Just like their last game Pakistan Vs Namibia, Namibia had strangled their opposition for most of the innings. At the end of the 16th, NZ were going at a snail’s pace with only 96/4 runs on the board. Last 4 overs yielded 67 runs.
  • In comparison, Namibia were 92/4 at the end of the 16th. They only added 19 runs in the last 4. The finishing between the teams was the difference.
  • Namibia are officially out of the tournament.

Pakistan Vs Namibia – T20 World Cup 2021 Match #31 Quick Review!

Pakistan Vs Namibia Quick Review – Namibia go head to head but Rizwan’s knock makes it Pakistan’s game.

Match Details, Scorecard, & Video Highlights

Scorecard: Pakistan Vs Namibia Video Highlights

Toss: Pakistan won the toss and chose to field first.

Venue: Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi, UAE

Umpires: Chris Brown & Chris Gaffaney

What Actually Happened

  • Winner: Pakistan won by 45 runs
  • Scores: Pakistan 189/2 Namibia 144/5
  • Player of the Match: Mohammad Rizwan 79* (50)

    • Imad Wasim (3-0-13-1)
  • Most Runs
    • Mohammad Rizwan 79* (50)
    • David Wiese 43* (31)

Moments of The Day:

  • Rizwan & Babar rise again. A 113-run partnership. They are now establishing an iconic T20I opening partnership.
  • Pakistan took more positives – Hafeez finished with 32* (16) & Hasan Ali returned with spells of 4-0-22-1.
  • David Wiese’s 43* ensured Namibia did not collapse for a low score and got 144.

If only they had restricted Pakistan earlier….

Broken Cricket Dream of the Day: Namibia Fail To Take Advantage

  • Pakistan had an uncharacteristically slow start. At the end of the Powerplay, Pakistan were 29/0, the fourth lowest of all time in T20Is, without losing a wicket. By the end of the 8th over, Pakistan were 45/0 with Babar Azam 33 (27) & Rizwan 12 (21).

Poor death bowling by Namibia.

Afghanistan Vs Namibia – T20 World Cup 2021 Match #27 Quick Review!

Afghanistan Vs Namibia Quick Review – Not much in for Namibia as Afghanistan completes one sided victory on Asghar Afghan’s retirement.

Match Details, Scorecard, & Video Highlights

Scorecard: Afghanistan Vs Namibia Video Highlights

Toss: Afghanistan won the toss and chose to field first.

Venue: Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi, UAE

Umpires: Ahsan Raza & Chris Gaffaney

What Actually Happened

  • Winner: Afghanistan won by 62 runs
  • Scores: Afghanistan 160/5 Namibia 98/9
  • Player of the Match: Naveen-ul-Haq 3/26 (officially), he symbolically gave his award to Asghar Afghan
  • Best Figures
    • Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton (4-0-21-2)
    • Hamid Hassan (4-0-9-3)
  • Most Runs
    • Mohammad Shahzad 45 (33)
    • David Wiese 26 (30)

Moments of The Day: Openers, Medium Pacers Brush Namibia Aside

  • Openers Hazratullah Zazai (33) & Mohammad Shahzad (45) gave Afghanistan another quick start with 53 runs in 6.3 overs. After a brief collapse, Asghar Afghan (31) & Mohammad Nabi (32*) made sure that Afghanistan reached a competitive 160.
  • Although Naveen-ul-Haq provided the early blows and Gubadin Naib’s 2/19 squeezed Namibia, it was comeback kid Hamid Hassan that turned the match. Although he had not played any T20Is since the last T20 World Cup and only a couple of ODIs between the ODI WCs, his speed and accuracy was the moment of the day. 4-0-9-3 are figures of dreams and pace was pretty high. A true legend.

Broken Cricket Dream of the Day: Asghar Afghan Retires

  • The leader of the Afghans for over a decade, Asghar Afghan retired surprisingly at the age of 33 in the middle of the tournament. The match was emotional. Namibia gave Asghar a guard of honor, and his teammates gave a guard of honor after he departed. In the mid-game interview, he mentioned that Pakistan’s close loss was too much to take so he decided to give way to youngsters.
  • Naveen-ul-Haq gave his player of the match trophy to Asghar as a tribute. Most of this team had debuted under Asghar and view him in high regard.
  • At the time of his retirement, he was joint highest for the most wins as a T20I captain alongside Eoin Morgan & MS Dhoni.

Ireland Vs Namibia- T20 World Cup 2021 Match #11 Quick Review! Historic Moment For Namibian Cricket As They Qualify for the Super 12s

Ireland Vs Namibia Quick Review – WHAT A MOMENT FOR NAMBIA. WHAT A MOMENT FOR WORLD CRICKET.

Match Details, Scorecard, & Video Highlights

Scorecard: Ireland Vs Namibia Highlights

Toss: Ireland won the toss and chose to field first.

Venue: Sharjah Cricket Stadium

Umpires: Aleem Dar & Chris Brown

What Actually Happened

  • Winner: Namibia won by 8 wickets
  • Scores: Ireland 125/8 Namibia 126/2
  • Player of the Match: David Wiese
  • Best Figures
    • Jan Frylinck – 3/21
    • Curtis Campher – 2/14
  • Most Runs
    • Paul Stirling 38 (24)
    • Gerhard Erasmus – 53* (49)

Moments of The Day: Namibia Hold Nerve As Ireland Crash Out

  • Paul Sitrling & Kevin O’Brien have served Irish cricket for more than a decade and they continued to deliver. A 62-run partnership in seven odd overs set the platform for Ireland. Unfortunately they could not capitalize.
  • Although the batters have been in focus in Namibia’s progress, do not discount the collective bowling performance. With Frylinck (3/21), Scholtz (1/25), JJ Smit (1/27), Wiese (2/22), and Trumpelmann/Ya France (economical), Ireland only added 59 runs in the last 76 balls.
  • Let us talk about the captain Gerhard Erasmus. Although Wiese got a player of the match for quickfire 28* (14) with two sixes, Erasmus held Namibia together (and Wiese himself said Erasmus should have received the award). Scoring 53 (29) and staying unbeaten to see his team through was an emotional moment. The mature innings magnified his leadership.

Broken Cricket Dream of the Day: Ireland Get a Taste of Their Own Medicine

  • The Ireland cricket team was the pioneer of Associate nations. Their victory over Pakistan in 2007 CWC and further progress over the decade saw them receive Test status. They defeated Pakistan, England, West Indies in various stages and what happened today? Ireland were ‘upset’ by Namibia. Full circle. Crash out of the World Cup.

Tweet of the Day

The qualification complicacies and Round 1 of the T20 World Cup make it near impossible for certain Associate teams to join the big teams in the Super 12s. Namibia did it the hard way, by defeating at least 15 different nations.

Netherlands Vs Namibia- T20 World Cup 2021 Match #7 Quick Review! David Wiese Comes To the Party As Netherlands Continue to Suffer

Netherlands Vs Namibia Quick Review – All round performance from Namibia as they win in a close game.

First World Cup victory for Namibia!! Where do Netherlands go from here?

Match Details, Scorecard, & Video Highlights

Scorecard: Netherlands Vs Namibia Highlights

Toss: Namibia won the toss and chose to field first.

Venue: Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi

Umpires: Langton Rusere & Michael Gough

What Actually Happened

  • Winner: Namibia won by 6 wickets
  • Scores: Netherlands 164/4 Namibia 166/4
  • Player of the Match: David Wiese
  • Best Figures
    • Jan Frylinck – 2/36
    • Pieter Seelar – 1/8 (& Fred Klassen 4-0-14-1)
  • Most Runs
    • Max O’Dowd – 70(36)
    • David Wiese – 66* (40)

Moments of The Day:

  • Max O’Dowd’s excellent form continues – Another 50 for O’Dowd. Stayed throughout the innings and made sure Netherlands reached a competitive total. The highest scorer of the tournament so far, he would be disappointed by the lack of support from others around him.
  • Erasmus provides impetus and Wiese finishes it off in style – When Williams and Baard departed in consecutive overs, Netherlands would have felt they are closer to victory. However a quickfire 32 (22) from captain Erasmus and Wiese’s out of the world 66* innings made sure Namibia finish it in style.

Broken Cricket Dream of the Day: Netherlands Lose 2 in 2

  • In the 2019 T20 World T20 Qualifier, Netherlands emerged as the winner. They are currently #11 in the ODI circuit and received ODI status as well. You wonder then, how did they fail to prepare for the T20 World Cup?

Sri Lanka and Vs Namibia- T20 World Cup 2021 Match #4 Quick Review! Spinners Too Hot to Handle for Namibia

Sri Lanka Vs Namibia Quick Review – Sri Lanka’s bowlers, Avishka Fernando, and Bhanuka Rajapaksa make it Sri Lanka’s day.

Moments of The Day: All-Round Bowling Performance, Fernando-Rajapaksa Key To Lanka’s Victory

  • Sri Lanka’s Pacers are the real deal – With combined figures of 8-0-36-2, Chamika Karunaratne & Dushmantha Chameera set the tone. Look out for them throughout the tournament.
  • Mahesh Theekshana the new Ajantha Mendis? Theekshana’s action and variations resemble Mendis, Lanka’s mystery spinner from 2008-12. Taking out the openers was key in restricting Namibia to 96. With Wanindu Hasaranga, they can form a potential mystery spin partnership.
  • Avishka Fernando, Bhanuka Rajapaksa save Sri Lanka from embarrassment. Trumpelmann, Scholtz, and Smit had reduced Sri Lanka to 26-3 in 5 overs. Fernando’s switch to #4 position and Rajapaksa’s positive innings made sure Sri Lanka reaches victory without further hiccups. A dropped catch helped as well.

Broken Cricket Dream of the Day: Namibia’s international comeback celebration cut short with poor display

  • Playing their first World Cup since 2003 ODI World Cup and an inspiring qualification campaign, a 96/10 might not accurately reflect their true quality. Associate nations have been on fire in this tournament, and Namibia’s defeat seemed like a disappointment. Hopefully, the team and star all-rounder David Wiese comes to the party as well.
