A good start from Namibia, with both batters opening their accounts with a boundary off Sharif. The Bengaluru pitch looks good for batting.

Namibia have absolutely dominated the powerplay, with Steenkamp and Frylinck building up an unbeaten partnership. The batting pair are hitting boundaries for fun at the moment, with Scotland having no answer. The run rate is more than 12-an-over.

Namibia's superb start finally comes to an end as Scotland dismiss both openers in the space of seven deliveries. First, Frylinck's herioc innings comes to an end as he is caught by Davidson off Greaves. He departs for a 44-ball 88. Steenkarmp, who reaches his half-century with a boundary, is caught by Sharif off Ihsan's ball. Erasmus and Smit at the crease now.

After a slow-ish start, Erasmus and Smit have started hitting the big shots. Smit ups the ante with a six and a four, getting 13 runs off the over from Davidson. The Namibia skipper follows suite, hitting Greaves for a boundary and maximum for 12 runs. The run rate remains near 12.

Brilliant batting at the end from Trumpelmann and Erasmus, with 36 runs coming in the last three overs. Namibia have reached a massive first-innings total after chosing to bat first. Big ask from Scotland in the chase.

A couple of boundaries got Watt and Jones off the mark for Scotland, but Heingo had the last laugh as he gets the scalp of Jones. The Scottish opener is caught by Myburgh and departs for six, and Namibia have an early breakthrough.

It's the end of the powerplay, and what an innings it has been from McMullen. The Scottish batter has helped his side overcome the early setback, hitting four boundaries and four sixes. He is currently batting at 46 off 16, nearing a blistering half-century.

With McMullen's onslaught continuing at the other end – he is batting at 63 off just 23 balls – Namibia get a breakthrough as Scholtz gets the wicket of Watt. He departs for a well-made 33, and Berrington is the new batter.

A couple of tight overs from Smit upped the pressure on the Scotland batters, and McMullen throws away his wicket, holing out to Trumpelmann off skipper Erasmus' delivery. It was a magnificent innings from him, departing at 95 off 39 balls. It's up to Bruce and Berrington to carry this chase now, with 60 needed off 30 balls.

What a nail-biting finish to the match!! Bruce and Berrington seemed settled enough to lead Scotland over the line, but Heingo got the breakthrough to send the former back to the dugout for 20. Smit dismisses Berrington in the final over for 46 off 26, and Davidson and Cross can't hit the big shots in the final four balls. Namibia win by six runs.
