T20 World Cup: Netherlands secure nervy victory over Namibia
Mobitel Inner

The Netherlands edged closer to a place in the Super 12s at the Men’s T20 World Cup after a nervy five-wicket victory over Namibia.

 

Bas de Leede hit an unbeaten 30 from 30 balls to help the Netherlands over the line for their second win of the tournament with three balls to spare.

 


Jan Frylinck had earlier top-scored with 48 as Namibia limped to 121-6.

 

Netherlands will qualify for the Super 12s if Sri Lanka loses to United Arab Emirates in Tuesday’s later game.

 

If Sri Lanka win then qualification from Group A will be decided in the final round of games on Thursday, with the 2014 champions facing the Netherlands before Namibia take on UAE.

 

The top two sides from each group will qualify for the Super 12s (two groups of six), which start on 22 October. The winner of Group A and the runner-up from Group B will face England.
