Namibia invested extraordinary efforts in fielding. The bowling unit also committed to pitch the ball in the right line and length. Additionally, picking the wickets within frequent intervals restricted New Zealand to set a huge target till the 16th over.

Since then, NAM has missed the line and length, and a few loose deliveries have prompted New Zealand hitters to shift the gears. As a result, expectations of restricting NZ have gradually faded. New Zealand smashed a surge of boundaries in the final four overs to reach a respectable total of 163-4 in 20- overs.
