Namibia vs P.N.G., 37th Match, Group A at Dublin, , Jul 18 2015 - Match Result

If a batsman comes hard at the top, its difficult to stop him, says Scholtz, the Namibia captain. Thats what happened to our batting innings. And Im happy that our bowlers did a lot better. We talked that if the ball was full or short, we told them to go for it. You can see the boys, theyre all pretty big and strong. Well batted for Baard. He set it up and it was a team performance. Bernard bowled really well as well, hit the rough and put the batsmen in a tangle.

Namibia was the better side today says Vare, captain of PNG. We didnt execute our plans properly. But credit to Baard for going on and making a big total. We wanted to keep it simple, the wicket was used a lot and we wanted to hit the deck hard and try and bowl good areas. But it didnt go according to plan. There were a lot of positives in the game, dont want to see the negatives. We fielded well. We want to take that into the next game

Bernad Scholtz gets the Man of the Match award for his 4 for 11. He says the amount of runs on the board made the bowling easier. We are very satisfied with our batsmen and we always thought we had a good chance. I made it quite slow, that was the plan. They had to hit it, and that made it quite hard for the batsman. Performances like this, and doing it with so much at stake is why we play the game

5.15 pm Handshakes all around as Namibia roll over the top team from Group A. PNGs fairytale run comes to an end as a result of Stephan Baards power-packed half-century and Bernard Scholtzs very very slow left-arm spin

Final over of the day. PNG have done reasonably well to last this far. Run-rate races can come into play later on, rememeber

Oopsy, hes got something wrong with his leg... decides to pull out of the over. Concern for him from his team-mates as he limps off the field. JJ Smit to take over
