Once Pikky ya France fell for 18, Raymond van Schoor and Louis van der Westhuizen stole the show with a 124-run stand which effectively took the game away form Kenya. van Schoor would finish not out on 67, while van der Westhuizen scored a quick fire 66 off 39 balls. Williams' 21 off 11 helped Namibia finish off the match with just three balls to spare.
