UAE vs Namibia

United Arab Emirates 148 for 3 (Waseem 50, Rizwan 43, Scholtz 1-22) beat Namibia 141 for 8 (Wiese 55, Hameed 2-17, Zahoor 2-20) by seven runs.

Michael van Lingen faced three from Hameed, cut the first one for four, defended the second and then tried to hit the third over deep backward square but found Sharafu, who was perfectly positioned for the catch. Wiese's final over cost 12 runs but the best for the UAE was still to come. The UAE entered the final two overs on 115 for 3 and were still being kept fairly quiet but with 140-plus in their sights, had to hit out. Though it looked like the ball was going down leg, Rizwan was persuaded to review and ball-tracking showed it would go on to hit the stumps. Karthik took a hat-trick against Sri Lanka and made the major incisions into the Namibian line-up and will leave this tournament having made a name for himself. UAE's most accomplished batter anchored their innings with the right mix of energy and aggression to set them up for a competitive score. His fifty came off 40 balls and despite the slow scoring rate, Waseem maintained a strike rate of over 100 and he did that by running well. But, they scored 51 runs off the last five overs to push the total close to 150 and notch up their second-highest total in T20 World Cups. Waseem advanced down the track to push him over mid-off and then straight back over his head for one of the group's biggest sixes. UAE will also depart the tournament, but with a some points to show for it. They were 58 for 1 in the first 10 overs and only reached 100 in the 16th over. Namibia needed 14 runs off the final over, bowled by [Muhammad Waseem](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/muhammad-waseem-1241277), but Wiese was dismissed off the fourth ball and Namibia did not have enough muscle at the end.
