Key players

David Wiese

One of the main reasons Namibia qualified for the T20 World Cup Super 12s is because of David Wiese. In the first round, the veteran was undoubtedly Namibia’s best hitter. The right-hander scored 100 runs in three innings for an average of 100 and a strike rate of 163.93 in three games.

Josh Davey

Josh Davey has been a standout performer for Scotland in the current T20 World Cup. The right-arm fast bowler has nine wickets at an economy rate of sub-seven in four games. He also took four wickets in a match against Papua New Guinea. In their forthcoming game, the Namibia hitters must play him with caution.

Team News

SCOTLAND

• Scotland suffered a forging at the hands of Afghanistan in their opening match of the Super 12s and they will need to produce a big performance to put that trouble behind them.
• The Scots were thrashed by 130 runs as they plodded with both club and ball with the pressure now falling on the likes of George Munsey and Richie Berrington to produce the goods with the club after Scotland posted just 60 runs in their defeat to the Afghans.

NAMIBIA

• Namibia pulled off a shock as they defeated Ireland in their final group game to advance to the Super 12 stage of the event in what’s their first participation in a T20 World Cup.
• The Namibians were excellent as they made it back-to-back triumphs with David Wiese securing the Player of the Match for the alternate time in the race with a superb quick-fire knock of 28 * from just 14 balls while he is also minced in with two lattices.

Scotland vs Namibia Match Tips

Scotland will be anxious to put their nightmare against Afghanistan behind them in a game against Namibia that is extremely winnable. Namibia, being the tournament’s lowest-ranked squad, has already accomplished a great deal to reach this level and can play without fear. They’ve already won two of their first three games, but this one may go anyway. With that in mind, individual player markets may provide value, and with David Wiese hitting seven sixes in four games, he can hit at least one in this game to exploit Scotland’s weak bowling unit, who yielded 190 runs last time out. Namibia presently appears to be in good shape to win.
