SIX! JJ Smit to Sikandar Raza. Reverse Swing-Out length ball, down leg side on the front foot flick, well timed in the air under control over deep backward square leg for 6 runs. That brings us to the end of the first innings. After being put into bat, the hosts have posted a massive total on the board as a target for Namibia. Both the openers have started really well for Zimbabwe by scoring boundaries. After the dismissal of Marumani, Brian Bennett continued his momentum and scored 94 runs in just 51 balls. Every bowler from Namibia leaked runs without any notable performances. Let's see how the run chase pans out.
