Faheem Ashraf continues the attack. Steenkamp guides one towards point for no run, then picks up a single off the next ball. Frylinck squeezes one past backward point for a single. Steenkamp finds the boundary with a crisp shot, and two more singles close out the over. Eight runs come off it, with Namibia moving to 23/0 after 3 overs. 

Saim Ayub is introduced into the attack. Frylinck flicks one and then defends towards backward point. Steenkamp lofts one safely for four. He steps forward to drive but misses, before ending the over with another boundary. Nine runs from the over, Namibia reach 32/0 after 4 overs.

Salman Mirza returns and strikes! A clever change of pace does the trick as Frylinck is bowled for 9 off 11 balls. Namibia lose their first wicket.

Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton walks in as the new batter and gets off the mark with a single. Steenkamp and Eaton rotate the strike with a single each before Eaton drives beautifully over extra cover for a boundary. A dot ball ends the over.

Six runs come off it, and Namibia move to 38/1 after 5 overs.
