A rapid win for Pakistan as their bowlers were the stars after a rater mediocre batting performance against some fine bowling and fielding by Namibia

A win by 171 runs after it looked to be a bigger margin due to spirited defence by the last Namibian pair

Wasim is 2 short of his 500 wickets in ODIs and picked up 5 for 28 today while Shoaib Akhtar bowled a 159.1kph ball and took 4 for 46. Waqar kept them both on for 17 overs hoping to wrap up fast but resorted to Saqlain for the last wicket

Pakistan play England on the 22nd while namibia play them on the 19th

For now its goodbye from Kimberley
