NAM VS ZIM - 4th T20I, Zimbabwe tour of Namibia 2023

That concludes this game between two South-East African sides. We'll be back tomorrow for the decider, join us then. Bye for now!

Gerhard Erasmus is also the Player of the Match.

Gerhard Erasmus: We deserve to be at 2-2, we've played a lot of good cricket. Bowlers put in a good shift today, and we could chase it down. Lots of positive takeways, our top-order has consistently performed and bossed the powerplay. Getting some match-ups going was also really important for us.

Craig Ervine: After the start we got, we couldn't capitalize. We had a good finish but felt 20-25 short. (On WC Qualifiers prep) It has been great preparation, got a feel for conditions. Lots of things we'll take back from this tour. Need to pick ourselves up and do better tomorrow

14:10 Local Time, 12:10 GMT, 17:40 IST: The hosts have won this on a canter and levelled the series. Namibia's openers Michael van Lingen and Nikolaas Davin attacked in the powerplay, getting 59 runs. They were always in control of the chase, and were aided by some mediocre Zimbabwe and even worse fielding. A lot of fumbles helped Namibia. Ryan Burl took the wickets of both openers in an over, and that got a bit of tension to the game. However, skipper Erasmus an Frylinck steadied the ship and got their boundaries at will when needed. Erasmus scored the winning runs with more than an over to spare, and now we are setup for a thrilling decider.
