In a thrilling encounter at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, Namibia triumphed over Oman by 11 runs in a Super Over, setting a new record for the most runs scored in a Super Over in T20 World Cup history. The hero of the match, David Wiese, showcased his all-round brilliance to secure the win for Namibia.
David Wiese was the standout performer, both with the bat and the ball, in the nerve-wracking Super Over. With the bat, Wiese hammered 4, 6, 2, and 1 to propel Namibia to a formidable total. His aggressive batting ensured that Namibia posted a challenging score, putting immense pressure on Oman.
In a dramatic turn of events during the third game of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Namibia’s chase culminated in a thrilling tie against Oman. The 17th over saw Mehran Khan bowling a wicket maiden, including Smit’s edge boundary and dismissal, leaving Namibia needing 14 runs off 12 balls. Bilal Khan’s 18th over had Frylinck struggling, but Wiese’s six over wide long-on kept hopes alive, reducing the target to 5 runs for victory. In the final over, Mehran Khan struck again, dismissing Frylinck, and the match ended in a tie, leading to a super over to decide the winner.
The drama intensified as Wiese took the ball to defend Namibia’s total. He bowled a stellar Super Over, conceding just 2 runs off the first ball, followed by a dot, and then took a crucial wicket. Despite conceding a six off the last ball, his disciplined bowling restricted Oman to 11 runs, sealing the victory. The match concluded with Namibia celebrating a historic win, thanks to the champion, the hero, David Wiese.
