World No 19 Namibia, the lowest-ranked team in the tournament, chased down their modest target of 126 with skipper Gerhard Erasmus making an unbeaten 53. I think the captain Gerhard Erasmus deserves to be man of the match," said Wiese who had also taken 2/22 in the Ireland innings. Ireland skipper Andy Balbirnie was distraught by the loss. "I think Wiese played a brilliant knock when the run-rate was at around eight an over, and their skipper saw them home." Only 54 runs came off the last 10 overs with Ireland's next seven batsmen all failing to reach double figure.
