    Namibia captain Gerhard Erasmus: "It's been emotional coming through the group stage. I thought we put in another good performance and put those emotions away for a bit. Luckily the boys put in an excellent performance.

    "We are delighted with that performance. We know from here we need to lift our level, there are quality teams in our group. We're excited."

    "It's a very proud moment and we'll savour with the small group of people here and all the Namibians back home. It's a small but proud country."

    Scotland captain Richard Berrington: "It's been a disappointing day for us. We were probably 20 or 30 runs short. It's pretty hard to recover after a first over like that. Credit to Namibia, they put us under pressure. We struggled to recover and couldn't get the score in the first innings."

    Player of the match Ruben Trumpelmann, who took three wickets in the first over and finished with 3-17: "It's a great result for the team. Hopefully we can build on this and take a few more. Preparation has been good for the past few days. I focused on that and luckily it went my way.

    "I really enjoyed myself out there. It's awesome under the lights. It's the World Cup so why not enjoy it?

    "This victory means a lot for the team. Hopefully, going forward, we'll get a few more. This is massive for us."

    Scotland have got a bit of time now - they're not in action again until 3 November, when they face New Zealand.

    Namibia, meanwhile, face Afghanistan in what could be a cracker on Sunday.

    Without Michael Leask, Scotland would have been nowhere.

    Scotland put so much energy getting into the Super 12s stage, I get the feeling it's been tough to get themselves physically and emotionally up for it.

    Lovely - the Namibia team have gone over to applaud their pocket of fans, who were cheering throughout the match for them.

    Scotland will be very disappointed because this was the match they were targeting.

    Considering they were 2-3, Scotland did really well to take that into the final over.

    But after that horrorshow of a start, it was always going to be difficult to pu an ultra challenging total on the board.

    Namibia have been building. They were impressive in the 2019 qualifiers to the tournament. They've got a good coach and are improving.

    In situations like this the fielding captain will be wishing they had an extra 20 runs.

    All Wheal can do here is bowl full and straight.

    He stands there and cannot believe what he has done. If there ever was a ball to win the match, that was it.
