What exactly happened in the match?
Namibia won the toss and elected to bowl first. Zimbabwe came out to bat. It didn't start well. Zimbabwe were bowled out for just 101 runs by 6 wickets. Everyone thought that now Zimbabwe will stop at 130-140.
But that's where the real fun started. Ryan Burl and Brad Evans came in for the seventh wicket. Both of them literally blew up. The Namibian bowlers did not know where to bowl. The duo combined for 94 runs off just 48 balls and remained unbeaten. Hence, Zimbabwe scored 195 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 20 overs. Namibia needed 196 runs to win.
This 94-run partnership broke an old world record. In 2021, Australia's Daniel Sams and Marcus Stoinis shared a 92-run partnership for the seventh wicket against New Zealand. That record was the highest for the seventh wicket in T20 Internationals. It was broken yesterday by Burl and Evans. Everyone thought that now this new record will remain in the name of Zimbabwe. But the real film was left.

Chasing 196 runs, Namibia got off to a poor start. They also lost 6 wickets for just 76 runs. The match seemed to be in Zimbabwe's hands, but Buren Wolshenk, not Zane Green and Ruben Trumpelman, came for the seventh wicket from Namibia. And what they did was unbelievable. Both of them washed the Zimbabwean bowlers well. They put on a partnership of 110 runs for the seventh wicket. That means the record of 94 runs set by Zimbabwe a few hours earlier was broken in the same match.
In the name of Namibia
