The Netherlands made heavy weather of a small target before eking out a five-wicket win against Namibia in the T20 World Cup here on Tuesday.

This is the Netherlands' second victory in as many games and keeps them firmly in contention for a place in the next round.

The Netherlands dished out a fine bowling effort to restrict Namibia to 121 for six before taking the game deep. They completed the task in 19.3 overs in their first round Group A match.

Vikramjit Singh (39 off 31) and Max O'Dowd (35 off 35) impressed in the Netherlands' chase, sharing 59 runs for the opening wicket.
