72 by Namibia
The Aussie bowlers were right on the money as Josh Hazlewood removed both openers cheaply. Namibia couldn't bounce back as they lost regular wickets. Skipper Gerhard Erasmus (36 off 43) held one end as he was the only Namibian batter to score 11-plus runs. Zampa's majestic four-fer demolished their middle and lower order as Namibia were all out for 72 (17 overs).
