Zimbabwe survive Namibia fightback in Windhoek thriller

Zane Green and Alexander Volschenk launched a stunning counterattack, adding 110 runs from just 51 balls, the highest seventh-wicket partnership for Namibia in T20Is. Green made 54 (26) while Volschenk struck 56 from 29, as Namibia dragged themselves back into the contest.

With 11 needed from the final five balls, Namibia looked on the verge of completing an incredible comeback. But the momentum swung one final time.

Green was run out by a direct hit from Raza before Volschenk fell to a stunning one-handed catch from Tadiwanashe Marumani. Two more wickets followed in the final deliveries, which included another run-out, as Namibia fell agonisingly short by five runs.

The result keeps the tri-series wide open, with all three teams, including South Africa, sitting on one win and one defeat after two matches each.
