Milestone
That's all for the coverage of this game. Do join us tomorrow as Australia will lock horns against Sri Lanka. Till the next time, it's a ta-ta and a goodnight from me, Anurag Dasgupta and my co-commentators, Akshay Bhide and Arjun Bhalla.
Gerhard Erasmus: "Obviously delighted to get another win in this World Cup. It is a proud moment for our side. But from here on we have to lift our level as tough games are coming up. We are excited for the challenge and hope to execute our plans on those days. Luckily we got two partnerships that helped us to cross the winning line."
Richie Berrington: "Yeah, obviously disappointing for us. We were 20-30 runs short but credits to Namibia. Leask, Cross, and Greaves played well for us in the middle but wasn't enough. 120 would have given us a better chance. It was important we put the Afghanistan game behind us. We were confident today, but we didn't execute. We have few days to reflect and recover. To stick together is the strength of our team."
Ruben Trumpelmann: "Very happy with the win and hope we continue winning games. The ball was coming out of my hand nicely and enjoyed bowling upfront. I focused on the training and it went my way tonight. We have to swing the ball upfront and I'm glad it worked for me. The victory is massive for us and we will keep moving forward."
Ruben Trumpelmann is named the player of the match for his bowling figures of 3/17 in his four overs.
Earlier in the day, Trumplemann showcased his skills with the ball as he rattled the Scottish top-order. They never recovered from the early jolt and somehow crawled past the 100-run mark, thanks to Michael Leask who played a crucial knock of 44 to help his side get to a decent total which was not good enough to defend.
19.1 S Sharif to J Smit

UP AND OVER and that's it!!!!! First ever win in Super12 for Namibia as they thrash Scotland here. What a story it has been!!! Smit smacks a match-winning maximum and gets his name confirmed in the history books. That was full, that was wide and was easy picking for Smit who has smashed this over point and it's gone all the way. SMIT SCRIPTS HISTORY FOR NAMIBIA! And they win by four wicket at last..
DG: Namibia need just 1 run in the last over. Is there a twist in the tale?

18.6 B Wheal to France
0 Nails a yorker in the blockhole, finally. France does equally well as he jams it to covers no nothing. And the game has gone into the final over.
18.5 B Wheal to France
0 Tries to target the blockhole but nails another low full toss and France digs it to mid-off.
18.4 B Wheal to J Frylinck
W Another missed yorker but Wheal gets a prized wicket here. High toss outside and Frylinck drags it in the leg side but mistimes the slog horribly and straight into the firm palms of MacLeod at short mid wicket. Lata drama would just be helping the broadcasters here.
DG: Scores are level now. What a nail-biter we have witnessed here.
18.3 B Wheal to J Smit
1 Another attempted yorker gone wrong. Full toss on the stumps. Smit digs it through to mid-on for a single. And scores are level.
18.2 B Wheal to J Smit
4 Halfvolley that and that should be it. Smit is more than set for these freebie as he just bends his back and drives it past a diving cover fielder and the ball races away to the fence.
18.1 B Wheal to J Frylinck
1 Attempted yorker but missed by Wheal. Low full toss outside off. Frylinck drives it past the bowler for a single downtown.
