New Zealand vs Namibia live score
Daryl Mitchell and Martin Guptill are the two New Zealand openers. Spinner Bernard Scholtz will open the attack from Namibia. Here we go.
Kane Williamson at the toss
Looks a typical Sharjah surface. Important we build some partnerships early on, get that platform and put runs on the board. Have had few niggles but so far so good. Lockie is also recovering well but it is all part and parcel of the game. The guys are going alright. We have got the same team.
Gerhard Erasmus at the toss
The pitch looks very good, also we see small dimensions on this field and it is tough to defend. Also not really sure how it is going to play, so put them in first and hopefully we will be able to chase down later. It has been a good tournament so far, lot of good memories and would want to go one better today.

Kane Williamson-led New Zealand will lock horns with a struggling Namibia in Super 12 tie in Sharjah on Friday with an aim to inch closer to the semi-finals. While Gerhard Erasmus & Co lost their last encounter to Pakistan, the Kane Williamson led-side recorded two successive victories — first defeating India by 8 wickets and then edging past Scotland by 16 runs.
The Black Caps are currently placed third with four points and a win against Namibia will take them closer to the second semi-final spot from Group 2. Pakistan had already sealed their last-four berth with four wins out of as many matches.

On the other hand, placed fifth with just two points, Namibia have nothing to lose. Namibia, who gave a spirited fight against Pakistan, would be looking to do an encore, albeit this time they would look end on the winning side. Namibia is heavily reliant on David Wiese but others also need to chip in.
