Namibia beat Oman by 11 runs in the Super Over of the T20 World Cup 2024 match
In their Group B match in Barbados on Monday, Oman and Namibia played out a thrilling T20 World Cup 2024 tie, prompting their first Super Over in 12 years in the tournament.
While batting first on a sticky surface, Oman was able to score 109 runs in 19.4 overs after left-arm fast bowler RubelTrumpelmann trapped opener Kashyap and skipper Aqib Ilyas off the first two deliveries of the match before dismissing wicketkeeper NaseemKhushi in his second over. Veteran David Wiese then dented the middle order as he took three wickets before Trumpelmann returned to record his best bowling figures: 4/21 in four overs.
In reply, the Namibia cricket team looked to be in control of a slow chase before Oman tightened the noose at the end. While only five runs were needed in the final over, medium pacer Mehran Khan pulled off two wickets before enforcing the tie.
The scenario prompted the first Super Over contest of the tournament being brought up on this edition, where Namibia won. In the Super Over, Namibia put 21 runs on the board after coming out to bat first, whereas in reply, Oman was able to score only 10 runs.
