Let's go.... ... THE RUN CHASE .... Lower-order resurgence - Just when it looked like Zimbabwe would fold for a subpar score, Ryan Burl and Brad Evans came together to rescue the innings. The duo stitched together a brilliant, counter-attacking 94-run partnership for the 7th wicket, absorbing the pressure before launching a fierce assault of their own. Conditions look good for batting, but as the ball lost its hardness, the slower ones were tough to get away. Zimbabwe will have a fair idea of what worked on this wicket from the Namibian bowlers and will look to implement the same as they set out to defend this total.. Erasmus sparks the middle-muddle - Namibia's bowling performance was a tale of two extremes, proving highly expensive at both the start and the business end of the innings. However, they completely dominated the middle overs, capitalising on Zimbabwe's sudden rush of blood. Skipper Gerhard Erasmus was the chief architect of this fightback, turning the game on its head with an exceptional spell. He mixed his pace beautifully to pick up three crucial wickets, choking the run flow and forcing the Zimbabwean batters into costly errors while his fellow bowlers chipped in to keep the pressure mounted.. Strong start derailed by middle-order collapse - Zimbabwe flew out of the blocks after being asked to bat first, put on the front foot by a blazing opening partnership. The openers took full advantage of the fielding restrictions, hammering 64 runs in the Powerplay. However, momentum shifted drastically on the very last ball of the sixth over when Brian Bennett was dismissed. What seemed like a perfect launchpad for a massive total quickly turned into a nightmare for the Chevrons, as they suffered a catastrophic batting collapse. Namibia roared back into the contest, tearing through the batting order to leave Zimbabwe reeling at 79/5 after being 64/0.. End of a topsy-turvy innings - Zimbabwe dominated the Powerplay before Namibia wrestled back control through the middle phase, and it needed a rescue act from Brad Evans and Ryan Burl to bail the Chevrons out of trouble. 46 runs came off the last 3 overs, and the momentum is with Zimbabwe going into the break..Zimbabwe vs Namibia Live Score : 195/6 (19.6 overs) 19.6: Gerhard Erasmus to Ryan Burl, 20 runs off the over.
