Toss: Cameroon
Result: Namibia by 8 wickets
Clinical Namibia Sharpen Sword for Finals
Newcomers Cameroon were little more than a speed bump against a Namibian team preparing themselves for the finals.
Michele Ekani won the toss for Cameroon and elected to field. Apart from Bernadette Mbida who top scored with 10, there was little to see from the rest of the team as they crumbled for just 30 runs. The experience of Wilka Mwatile (5-6) and Kayleen Green (2-2) and indeed the entire bowling unit were simply too hot for the batting team.
Namibia won’t be pleased that they lost the wickets of both openers in the chase, but in the end Yasmeen Khan (11*) saw them over the line by eight wickets.
Scores:
Cameroon 30 (Bernadette Mbida 10, Wilka Mwatile 5-6, Kayleen Green 2-2) 15.5 overs
Namibia 31/2 (Yasmeen Khan 11*) 3.5 overs
Player of the Match: Wilka Mwatile
