Bermuda 219-8

Janeiro Tucker blasted his way back into form with a timely half century that lifted Bermuda to a respectable total at Willowmoore Park earlier today.

The veteran all-rounder smashed a robust 54 off 37 balls and dominated a 75-run sixth wicket stand with David Hemp who hit an unbeaten 44.

Tucker arrived at the crease with Bermuda reeling at 125 for five after 39 overs.

After a slow start, Tucker opened his shoulders and smashed five sixes and four fours to give his team's innings impetus.

Also making useful contributions were Lionel Cann (36) and Glenn Blakeney, who added 30.

Left arm spinner LP van der Westhuizen led the Namibians'

bowling with three for 43.

The Africans require 220 for victory at a run rate of 4.4 runs per over.
