Final overs
Full commentary- A dominant performance with both bat and ball from Ireland has seen them pull off a huge 130-run win to tie the series at 2-2. It all comes down to the final game now! We will be back nice and early to bring you all the action from the decider. Until then, it's goodbye from all of us here!
- Lorcan Tucker | Ireland captain: [On levelling the series 2-2 with a convincing victory] Yeah, absolutely thrilled. I think we worked really hard for that victory today. A couple of special performances. Jai in the second innings with the new ball, blew Namibia away. It's what we've been asking him to do. It was absolutely amazing and Tim (Tector) in the first innings and Curtis (Campher) putting on that total. I think it really set up the game well for us. [On the positives heading into Sunday's series decider] Like it's set up really nicely. Now 2-2 going into the last game. We've obviously got the advantage today, so we'll try and take that momentum into the last game on Sunday.
- Gerhard Erasmus | Namibia captain: [On the 130-run defeat and where the team fell behind] I thought obviously we got sort of behind the game a little bit early on in the morning. So it was always a tough one for us to fight back on and sort of just didn't get our hands on the game all day long. [On the impact of losing the toss and being put under pressure] Yeah, especially when you toss one against put in under pressure and the back foot, it's difficult to build from there. [On the difference between today's performance and the previous game] I think it's sort of a momentum kind of thing where we probably leaked a little bit too many runs and then obviously the guys didn't set that foundation for us to be able to go have a crack at that big total. [On the series being level at 2-2 ahead of Sunday's decider] I guess that's one good thing about today's result. But for us, still very disappointing and one that we have to shrug off quite quickly. We put ourselves in a place to win the series by playing good cricket through the series. So we have a shot again on Sunday.
- Jai Moondra | Player of the Match: [On a memorable performance that helped level the series] Yeah, obviously it's a day I will remember because we need to win to level the series to stay in the fight. So plan was clear to back yourself and just do what you have been doing and bowl the lengths that have been working over here and be disciplined about that and let the results come on. So that's probably was the plan and everyone played through it. So I'm really happy about that. [On making early inroads and putting pressure on the Namibian top order] So main idea was to create pressure and let them create the chances because wicket was favorable for the batsman but if you hit the good length, you can get some nick off and wickets. So that's probably what happened. We wanted to just create the pressure and let's see how things rolls out.
- 16:33 Local Time, 14:33 GMT, 20:03 IST: Ireland delivered a clinical performance with both bat and ball to secure a commanding 130-run victory over Namibia, leveling the series 2-2 and setting up a deciding final game. Opting to bat first on a pitch offering help to the bowlers, Ireland compiled a total of 298/8 in their 50 overs. Tim Tector anchored the early part of the innings with a composed 73 off 81 balls. After a flurry of wickets in the middle order, Curtis Campher blew the game wide open with a blistering 66 off 50 balls, smashing six sixes. Late power hitting from George Dockrell ensured Ireland closed out strongly, despite a standout spell from Namibia's JJ Smit, who led his side's attack with brilliant figures of 4/34. In response, Namibia never gained any momentum, struggling against disciplined bowling lines and losing wickets at regular intervals. Jai Moondra produced a match winning spell, taking a six-wicket haul (6/26). Ireland eventually bundled out Namibia for 168 in 41 overs to wrap up a comprehensive victory and keep their series alive. Stay tuned for the post-match stuff....

- 34.5WJai Moondra to Zane Green, out Bowled!! Cleaned up. Jai Moondra gets his fourth wicket and lets out a loud roar. Swings in the air a tad and is enough to go through the bat-pad gap.

- 26.44Matthew Humphreys to Ruben Trumpelmann, FOUR, he's off the mark with a boundary, flatter and quicker on the pads, Trumpelmann just had to get some part of the bat on it and it raced away to fine leg fence
- 26.3WMatthew Humphreys to Smit, out Caught by Lorcan Tucker!! Another one bites the dust, the quicker delivery, drifting in sharply, Smit prods forward and gets an inside edge onto the pads, it lobs off a comfortable height towards short leg and an easy grab for Tucker.

- 15.44Liam McCarthy to Zane Green, FOUR, short ball, at the ribs, Zane Green pivots on the back foot and pulls it wide of square leg. The man at long leg fails to cut it off
- 15.1WLiam McCarthy to Gerhard Erasmus, out Lbw!! Gerhard Erasmus is shocked! That looked pretty high. That was a length delivery, angled in, Gerhard Erasmus looked to pull and missed it. That might have gone over. That was in line but was hitting him well above the pad. Gerhard Erasmus tried to put his point across but he was given out. Namibia won't be too happy with the umpiring so far. The damage though has been done. Gerhard Erasmus lbw b Liam McCarthy 1(10)
- 14.14Curtis Campher to Loftie-Eaton, FOUR, uppish drive and boundary! That was a fuller length delivery, angled across, Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton strode out to drive it. The man at cover failed to stop it
- 12.3WCurtis Campher to Alexander Volschenk, out Caught by Balbirnie!! Campher comes in and strikes. That was a length delivery, outside off, the batter gave away some catching practice. The ball nipped away late and the ball went off the edge for the man at slip to gobble it up to his left. Ireland well on top. Alexander Volschenk played an extremely poor shot. Alexander Volschenk c Balbirnie b Curtis Campher 8(19)
- 10.6WJai Moondra to Louren Steenkamp, out Caught by Curtis Campher!! Easy take for the man at point. The batter tried to bail out off the short ball. The bat had gone across and went off the shoulder of the blade to lob up. The man at point never was going to drop that. Jai Moondra is elated. He liked that. Effort ball, angled across, Louren Steenkamp was looking to pull and then wanted to bail out but was a little too late in doing so. Louren Steenkamp c Curtis Campher b Jai Moondra 21(34) [4s-4]
- 9.54Jordan Neill to Louren Steenkamp, FOUR, banged in short, outside off, Louren Steenkamp gets on top of the bounce and pulls that over mid-wicket for a four

- 6.3WJai Moondra to Jan Frylinck, out Caught by Balbirnie!! Excellent catch by the man at second slip. That was a length delivery, outside off, the batter went for the drive and got the edge. The fielder went at it with his left hand and plucked it out of thin air. Superb take. He got a 100 in the last game but not much today. Jai Moondra has his second. Jan Frylinck got sucked into the drive as the ball nipped away to take the edge. Jan Frylinck c Balbirnie b Jai Moondra 4(13) [4s-1]
- 5.24Jordan Neill to Louren Steenkamp, FOUR, short, wide, Louren Steenkamp got on top of the bounce and pulled it. Louren Steenkamp's eyes lit up as he saw it short, got back and smacked it
- 4.64Jai Moondra to Jan Frylinck, FOUR, pure timing! That was a length delivery, outside off, Jan Frylinck got a stride out and stroked it between cover and point. The two fielders gave it a chase but in vain
- 3.34Jordan Neill to Louren Steenkamp, FOUR, short, wide, gets the room and flays that wide of the man at point. Good placement from Louren Steenkamp. First four of the chase
- 2.2WJai Moondra to Malan Kruger, out Caught by Lorcan Tucker!! Malan Kruger can't believe it. He has been given out caught down leg. That was a length delivery, down leg, Malan Kruger looked to clip it and most possibly missed it. There was a little deviation I guess which the umpire thought off the bat. Malan Kruger drags himself off. He is distraught. Not the best ball bowled but Jai Moondra will take it. Was confident appeal from the bowler and the keeper. Malan Kruger c Lorcan Tucker b Jai Moondra 0(3)
