Namibia lost to Scotland by 7 wickets.
Windhoek, 12 April.
Namibia 198 (49 overs; L Steenkamp 67, JJ Smit 43, J Frylinck 22; B McMullen 3-47, M Watt 2-21, O Davidson 2-28, J Jarvis 2-29)
Scotland 199-3 (38 overs; B McMullen 100 ret, R Berrington 43, M Watt 27*; R Trumpelmann 2-53)
Namibia recovered from 89 for 5 to post 198 thanks primarily to a 6th wicket stand of 87 between top-scorer Louren Steenkamp 67 (professional at Coleraine) and skipper JJ Smit who made 43. The wickets were shared with three for McMullen and two apiece for Watt, Davidson and Jarvis. Rueben Trumpelmann struck two early blows to leave the contest evenly poised after the first powerplay. McMullen and Berrington put Scotland in total control with a third wicket stand of 112 and it should be plain sailing despite the stand being broken by Myburgh. Just 66 needed from 24 overs with seven wickets left. A deserved 100 from Brandon McMullen who hit 9 fours and 4 sixes in his 92-ball knock before retiring. No doubt about the result or the Man of the Match now. Mark Watt (27*) and Matty Cross (14*) ensure there is no late drama as Scotland end their tour on a high with a seven-wicket win.
Namibia beat Oman by 1 wicket.
Namibia Cricket Ground,Windhoek, 10 April.
Oman 218-9 (50 overs; H Mirza 81, V Shukla 39, J Singh 28, W Ali 25; J Brassell 4-22, R Trumpleman 2-38)
Namibia 223-9 (49.3 overs; J Frylinck 84, Z Green 40*, W Myburg 32, G Erasmus 26, L Steenkamp 20; M Imran 5-39, H Shah 2-38)
Muhammad Imran celebrates after claiming his fifth wicket
With the recent rain making playing conditions at the Wanderers problematic to say the least, the final two games in the series are being played at the Namibia Cricket Ground. That hasn't phased Hammad Mirza who followed up his unbeaten century last time out against Namibia with 81 today, while for the hosts 21 year old Jack Brassell claimed the first four wickets to fall and finished with an excellent 4-22 from his ten over spell. Slow going for Oman after being asked to bat posting a vulnerable looking 218 in their 50 overs. Malan Kruger gone early in the chase but an 81 run second wicket partnership between Willem Myburg and Jan Frylinck, who added a further 52 for the third with Gerhard Erasmus eased the hosts within sight of victory. But with Muhammad Imran completing a 'five-for' and a late brace from Hassnain Shah it came down to 19 required off the final 3 overs with just 2 wickets in hand. A wicket for leg-spinner Shrivastava first ball off the eighteenth brought last man Jack Brassell to the crease to join Zane Green who took 10 off the first two balls of Shah's ninteenth over. Seven required from the last from Shrivastava and Green sweeps for 2, reverse sweeps for 2 and reverse sweeps a 6 to claim the nailbiting revenge victory for Namibia by the narrowest of margins.
Oman beat Scotland by 12 runs.
Wanderers, Windhoek, 8 April.
Oman 163-7 (20 overs; J Singh 51, A Odedara 43, S Ahmed 23*; M Leask 2-18, J Jarvis 2-32, S Sharif 2-37)
Scotland 151-9 (20 overs; M Cross 24, R Berrington 23, B McMullen 22; H Shah 4-26, S Shirivastava 2-27)
Rain has plagued this series in Windhoek and today was no different with a long delay before any play was possible. When it finally started the match had been reduced to 20 overs per side and the conditions far from perfect, with equal amounts of sawdust and grass visible on the outfield. Scotland elected to field and but saw Jatinder Singh and Ashish Odedara give Oman a flying start adding exactly 100 in the opening 10 overs. Once the breakthrough had been made Scotland clawed their way back into the game taking wickets and stifling any chance of a second half surge by the middle and late order. Scotland struggled to match the early Omani momentum and had lost half the side for 75 in nine overs. No wag from the tail as they perished in the deep giving Hassnain Shah a four wicket haul. Two 'no-results' and a defeat for the Scots so far in this series who have suffered from the weather more that anyone in this WCL2 campaign.
Oman v Scotland - no result.
Wanderers, Windhoek, 2 April.

The ground unpayable due to rain and the match was abandoned without a Toss.
Namibia lost to Oman by 3 wickets.
Wanderers, Windhoek, 4 April.
Namibia 268-7 (50 overs; G Erasmus 54, W Myburgh 43, Z Green 42, L Steenkamp 32; D Leicher 30*, JJ Smit 24, M Kruger 21; H Shah 3-58, S Ahmed 2-31)
Oman 274-7 (49.1 overs; H Mizra 112*, W Ali 62, M Ali 43; M Heingo 3-59, G Erasmus 2-54, J Brassell 2-61)
Runs all down the order for Namibia with a late flurry from Zane Green and Dylan Leicher saw the hosts post what they hoped would be a defendable total in the still soggy conditions at the Wanderers. Three wickets for seamer Hassnain Shah and two for the slow left arm spin of Shakeel Ahmed the best of the Omani efforts with the ball. An unbeaten century from Hammad Mizra who added 124 in a sixth wicket partnership with Wasim Ali saw Oman claim the points, MIzra finishing the match in style with a maximum off the first ball of Heingo's final over.
Namibia v Scotland - no result.
Wanderers, Windhoek, 6 April.
Namibia 189-8 (46.4 overs; L Steenkamp 78, Z Green 62; J Jarvis 3-35, M Watt 2-25, S Sharif 2-39)
Scotland
A 124 run fifth wicket partnership between Louren Steenkamp and Zane Green rescued Namibia from a precarious 36-4 having been asked to bat by Scotland. A real struggle against the Scottish seamers early on with the opening 10 overs producing only 27 runs for the loss of Myburgh, Kruger and Frylinck. Scotland frustrated by that partnership and finally by the rain that saw them unable to chase what looked like being a below par score total from the hosts.
