Post Match Presentation.
Player of the Match David Wiese: “It’s completely overwhelming. I don’t think I deserve to be sitting here. I think captain Gerhard Erasmus deserves to be Man of the Match. This is really his moment and the rest of the team has put in so much work before now to be here. I’ve played in Sharjah a few times and know the wicket deteriorates to suit my bowling a bit more.”
Gerhard Erasmus, winning captain: Said in the press conference that we run a tight ship. In small countries, a small number of people play cricket. We should be proud of ourselves. I count on my senior men to stand up when the pressure is on. And two of us did it tonight. Hopefully, we can do it through the tournament. Hasn’t sunk in yet, maybe on the way home.”
Andrew Balbirnie, losing captain: Hurts a lot. Really wanted to win. We didn’t get enough runs. It will be hard to get over it, and it hurts a lot. I think Wiese played a brilliant hand when the rate was at 8, and their skipper saw them home. There are a lot of good cricketers in there in Namibia, it wasn’t to be.
