00:03Right hand and left hand combination, Pretoria is to face the first delivery, Rasmus from
00:09Namibia, ball in hand.
00:15Couple of sides have started the spin, especially on this side of the ground, and Rasmus greeted
00:29with a loud cheer from the crowd, as we are about to get this game six under way, must
00:37win game for Namibia, final to be played here on Sunday.
00:44Yeah Rasmus will bring a lot of momentum from, to the ball from his batting innings yesterday
00:50scoring 88, off the mark, they open the air count, victorious, 1-2 out of 2, all picked
01:04up, pulled up in the air, this presents an opportunity, however Juice keeps carrying on, but not as
01:11much wind as yesterday, but just, yeah cut away, cut leads, that's going to be another boundary
01:23in the air over, I'm going to slightly too wide this time, oh shimmy down the wicket, and
01:33this is, so nonchalantly, heads it a long long way back, over the scorer's box, just came
01:44down the wicket.
01:45One pool shot that he connected off, Jack Broussel's bowling, onto the other field, HB Oval, oh goodness
01:53me, all sorts, I have a boundary in the end, blindsided Zane Green, but still, got some glove to it,
02:03but it still goes to the boundary.
02:03Oh, that's a good shot, that's an elegant shot, I believe it's gone all the way.
02:11He gets it full, he gets the width, oh goodness me, how do you like this?
02:21Back to back, over the corporate suite, another maximum, shot of the tournament for me, backward
02:31point.
02:34Oh again, it's full, again, full swing of the arms, and again it races away for four.
02:40Yeah, you gotta say, with the restrictions in place, it's not the best deliveries.
02:50A shimmy down the wicket, it's wide, it's not too full, but it doesn't matter.
02:55It is a world class cricket shot once more from Estrezen, even further back, but he picked
03:03it up so lightly, and you gotta play.
03:08There's a shimmy once more, and again, just opening the blade, just opening the bat, using the bottom
03:15hand, again finding the gap, and a boundary to start off the last over of this, the sixth.
03:25Oh goodness me, does well to evade there, JJ Smith, just right above his head, boundary
03:34to start off the over, boundary to finish, and he's put down, we'll have to wait and see.
03:44As I said, that goes for six, I was about to say, we're going to have to wait and see
03:49how
03:50costly that will prove to be, oh, it's a full swing of the bat, he hasn't got the connection
03:58he was looking for, but as we know, the ball keeps flying, hits the side screen, it's another
04:05six, it's a short part of the boundary, expensive in his first, change of ends as well, and again,
04:13it's full, another check shot, you can say, but sheer power, Erasmus for a slight second
04:21back at long on, thought he's in the game, turned around immediately, and with that, a half
04:26century, oh, it's short, picked up, and this time, not quite going all the way, but it does
04:38go for a boundary, it also brings up the hundred for South Africa, it really has played well,
04:43all around the ground, and there we see again, on the pads, deep square getting around to
04:51it, putting in the valiant dive, but it doesn't matter, three on the trot for Conor Estrezen,
04:58Namibia, Brussels, short again, picked up again, didn't connect the first ball shot, but
05:08he sure as hell connected this one, a lot of appreciation from the dugout, it's a free
05:15shot for Estrezen, especially in this form, oh, and again, fuller, wider, different part
05:22of the ground, but the result, the exact same, five in a row, this over, and you can see
05:27there on screen, Brussels, just asking, what am I supposed to do, oh, straight, hard, that's
05:38a maximum, the cameraman there at the top, for a moment, had to move out of the way, oh,
05:50just, a chip over, it's gonna run away, nothing going Namibia's way, this afternoon, oh, goodness
06:04me, you just cannot stop him, out of here, JJ Smith,
06:20oh, flat bats that, back-to-back boundaries, oh, I tried to help that along, he was looking
06:36to get it fine, possibly not that fine, but it doesn't matter, the result, that he was looking
06:42for, oh, this time he goes again, bolt, it's a bit shorter, a bit quicker, Estrezen, very few
06:56occasions today, he's actually missed it, but today, that one he's missed, he's bowled, and he's got to go,
07:02in Namibia, breathing a sigh of relief, yeah, let's dump out of the ground here, we've
07:13talked about turn, we've talked about a variation in bounds, corner has to raise an 88 from 40,
07:24and he's played in incredible innings, oh, that's gone a long way up, and it's gone a long way
07:35back, no doubt about that, I've seen a couple go down that side of the ground, fine, oh, Davod
07:50Brevis, Rasmus under it, he makes no mistake, JC Balz, sees the back of Brevis, his lowest score
08:03in this tournament, yeah, Namibia, they've got a window here to take, just some relief, with Brevis
08:12back in the daguard, there's a second wicket here now for Namibia, I think as Balz released that,
08:19he thought, I might be in trouble here, he got the length, he got the line, he's got the
08:23shorter boundary, maybe, just maybe, trying to over hit him, yeah, it's picked up, let's find
08:32the perfect middle between deep square and Carl, it's gonna be four runs, as I say that, it's that length
08:45again, again, full Schkink, having done the hard work, makes a bit of a meal of it, and goes for
08:54four,
08:58as I say that, it's time too full, too quick, Pretorius, who's in the mood, he gets the right delivery,
09:06the one he's been looking for, it's another six, Africa finding a lot of boundaries,
09:14skillful, inventive, well executed, Herman, you cannot fault that,
09:26oh yeah, goes for that shot again, and Zane Green with a brilliant take behind the stumps,
09:33a full stretch dive to his,
09:40side on,
09:42you can just see the elevation that Green got,
09:46yeah, that is full stretch, full left,
09:47he found his groove,
09:50yeah, as I say that,
09:51doesn't quite execute,
09:53short of his mark,
09:55Pretorius, however, well,
09:57he finds the middle, he hits the mark,
10:00it's a maximum to start out with,
10:02and with that, he moves into the 90s,
10:06he goes,
10:07it goes hard,
10:09he's gotten enough,
10:10it's a hundred,
10:12Luandre Pretorius has done it,
10:14brings up the three figures,
10:16and what a way to follow up,
10:18that 94 in the last meeting,
10:20against Zimbabwe,
10:22the bet up,
10:23Helm it off,
10:25innings of the series,
10:26if you ask me,
10:31balls him,
10:33Erasmus,
10:35can't really say,
10:36gets the last laugh,
10:39however,
10:39damage already been done,
10:43yes,
10:44they see the back of Pretorius,
10:47but my oh my,
10:49what an incredible innings,
10:51from the young men,
10:53I'll take nothing away from Erasmus,
10:55a well executed Yorker,
10:58you're finding some heroics,
11:00here towards the end,
11:03as made in T20i100,
11:08potentially,
11:12oh,
11:13it doesn't quite land,
11:15the Yorker,
11:16can't get it away either,
11:17so it dots a finish,
11:19strong finish from Erasmus,
11:20and Namibia,
11:22last five,
11:28he finds the gap,
11:31that's a boundary,
11:34Peter Ngaaba,
11:35couldn't get across,
11:39oh,
11:41immediately,
11:42to the cheer,
11:43and to the love of the fans,
11:44yeah,
11:45thronging,
11:45there have been a Möby cricket ground,
11:48just a touch fuller,
11:49through the line,
11:50stay and come,
11:54oh,
11:54and again,
11:55not sure if there's any bats on it,
11:59yeah,
11:59runs given,
12:05another brilliant shot,
12:08played a similar shot,
12:10the previous Mpaka over,
12:12but this time,
12:13pierces the field,
12:14between backwards,
12:15so strong up front,
12:17that if you had to ask him,
12:19oh,
12:19it's another good shot,
12:21again,
12:21just timing it,
12:25finding the gap,
12:25not trying to overhead it,
12:29the play,
12:32oh,
12:33Freiling goes across,
12:35and nobody out,
12:36on the deep square boundary,
12:37just helps it along,
12:39good movement at the crease,
12:41and good connection,
12:46oh,
12:47he goes again,
12:47this time,
12:48more convincing,
12:51it's allowed here,
12:53I just fall short,
12:54doesn't go all the way,
12:57back-to-back boundaries,
12:58same,
12:58power play,
13:01oh,
13:02that's it hard,
13:03that's it straight,
13:0614,
13:06tries to get to it,
13:09just cannot,
13:11similar on it,
13:14short,
13:15pulled,
13:17yeah,
13:18Freiling likes this,
13:19it's a maximum,
13:24yeah,
13:24for,
13:27oh,
13:28this time,
13:28it's fuller,
13:29but he's picked it up,
13:31and he's got just enough,
13:35for a moment,
13:36we thought,
13:36Brevis could get around to it,
13:42uppercut,
13:44goes the distance,
13:48they'll tell you,
13:51oh,
13:54that's fuller,
13:56again,
13:56a full swing,
13:57and a bat,
13:57Freiling down the ground,
14:00he brings up a 50,
14:01he's second 50 in the series,
14:03second against South Africa,
14:05and what a time to do it,
14:12oh,
14:14again,
14:15you could argue,
14:16and say it was a misfield,
14:17I think it was,
14:19but the placement,
14:20from Freiling,
14:21again,
14:22presence of mind,
14:23for always,
14:27but there's no one,
14:28stopping Freiling,
14:32that's a massive one,
14:34potentially,
14:35the biggest one of the day,
14:37clears all over the trees,
14:39eight,
14:42short again,
14:43and Freiling,
14:44uses the pace,
14:46he gets more than enough on it,
14:49another one flies over the roof,
14:53we've seen some big ones,
14:57short again,
14:58this time,
14:58he hasn't timed it,
15:00not well enough,
15:02it's brilliant work,
15:02on the boundary,
15:04subfielders,
15:05the Zorzi,
15:05and Freiling,
15:07he's distraught with himself,
15:08and been putting them away,
15:09all day,
15:12somewhere around,
15:13the execution,
15:14not a hundred percent,
15:15and he's got to go,
15:16it's the first wicked,
15:17for South Africa,
15:21I'll tell you what,
15:22he can be distraught,
15:23Freiling,
15:24I think he needs to hold,
15:25his head,
15:25head up high,
15:32it is a brilliant catch,
15:33after all,
15:34it's giving them maybe,
15:35a really good start,
15:43oh,
15:43they find the gap,
15:51again,
15:51it's full,
15:53Similani,
15:55sticks the hand out,
15:56but unfortunately,
15:57not enough,
16:00Sten Kump,
16:01a welcome six,
16:02and with that,
16:03brings up his half century,
16:05attack,
16:08some turn,
16:10but it beats the bat,
16:11beats the keeper,
16:15welcome runs,
16:20once again,
16:22out of the scoff marks,
16:23and you see that turn again,
16:26beating everything,
16:27and everybody,
16:29giving Baez another boundary,
16:35oh,
16:35a slash,
16:36it's full,
16:37it's wide,
16:39not where you intended,
16:41but the result,
16:41he'll take,
16:43flies over,
16:45he goes straight,
16:47he goes high,
16:48he goes big,
16:51here's JJ Smith,
16:55he's here to do the job,
16:57and he's here to do it well,
16:59he picks it,
17:01he picks him up,
17:03wow,
17:04that's massive,
17:05that's out of here,
17:08that's a good start,
17:09to the A team,
17:14goes big,
17:15it goes high,
17:16has he gotten enough,
17:19that's a drop catch,
17:22that's four runs,
17:26oh,
17:27big,
17:29taken,
17:31he picks out,
17:32Davo Brevis,
17:35he's usually so good,
17:37with that shot,
17:38but 77 meters,
17:40in that direction,
17:43just not easy,
17:47on any given day,
17:48you'd regard that,
17:49as a quality shot,
17:51the fuel settings,
17:52are quite unconventional,
17:55for that shot specifically,
17:59as you said Dixon,
18:00it's a long part of the ground,
18:01Smith,
18:01he does have,
18:02he does have the strength,
18:03he does have the power,
18:06just fall short,
18:11picked up,
18:12has he gotten enough,
18:13yes,
18:17Ruben Tromperman,
18:22inside edge,
18:24beats the man,
18:26it's another boundary,
18:28courtesy of a bit of luck,
18:30but they'll take it either way,
18:33these are the fine margins,
18:34of T20 cricket,
18:38it's a big swing,
18:40it's an appeal,
18:41it's given,
18:41it's a dot to finish,
18:44and importantly,
18:45it is a win,
18:46for South Africa,
18:47it was a nervy period,
18:49for them,
18:50but they held their nerve,
18:53and at the end of the day,
18:55in Namibia,
18:55just not enough,
18:57to go all the way,
18:58South Africa winning,
18:59by 11,
18:59I saw it,
