Chasing 158 for victory, Namibia were 47 for 2 inside the powerplay when Erasmus and opener Michael van Lingen got together, and they propelled the innings forward with a 77-run partnership. Zimbabwe fought back with a couple of wickets – including that of van Lingen for 51 in 48 balls – and a four-run 18th over from Tendai Chatara. But Erasmus hit Luke Jongwe for two fours in the 19th over to keep just five runs for the last over. Chatara managed to take the contest to the last ball, but Zane Green sent it for a four to complete the job.
