Namibia batted first and they posted a total of 121 for 6 in 20 overs. The start was shaky for Namibia as they lost 3 early wickets for just 32 runs. Jan Frylinck played a good hand and scored 43 runs in 48 balls but since he consumed too many deliveries, there wasn't a lot of time for the lower order to express themselves. As a result, Namibia were restricted to a low total of 121 in 20 overs of play.

During the chase, Netherlands got off to a brilliant start. Openers Max O'Dowd and Vikramjit Singh were timing the ball well right from the word go. Max O'Dowd made a run a ball 35 before running himself out. Vikramjit Singh also played exceptionally well and scored 39 in 31 balls.

Pathum Nissanka was timing the ball beautifully and his partnership for the 2nd wicket with Dhananjaya de Silva laid the foundation for a big total. However, once the partnership was broken, Sri Lanka lost too many wickets in the middle overs. As a result, they were restricted to an under par total of 152 in 20 overs.
