Namibia vs Scotland Predictions

Scotland are favourites to beat Namibia despite losing all three previous games against the Southern African nation. There is certainly value in a small layout on an upset win in this match.

Head to Head

Namibia have won all three previous T20I games against Scotland. They last met in 2021, a game Namibia won by four wickets.

Namibia Form

Namibia had a very impressive run at the 2022 T20 World Cup and will be looking to replicate that form in 2024. They started decently against Oman, winning the match in a Super Over on what was a tough wicket to bat.

Ruben Trumpelmann was the pick of the Namibian bowlers, taking 4-21 in four overs. They held Oman to 109 runs in 19.4 overs.

While Namibia struggled to really get going, they did manage to not lose too many wickets early on. The second wicket stand of 41 runs between Nikolaas David (24) and Jan Frylinck (45) put Namibia in the driving seat.

However, they lost a flurry of wickets thereafter and could only level the match on 109 runs. Fortunately, the Southern African nation came out on top in the Super Over.

Namibia Injuries & Team News

Namibia are likely to select a similar side to their last game. They will be hoping for a more competitive pitch though.

Scotland Form

This is Scotland’s opening World Cup game so they will be looking for a positive start.

Coming into the tournament, the Scots had two warm-up games rain out and the other they lost by 55 runs to Afghanistan.

While their game against England was rained out, Scotland managed to bat for 10 overs, scoring 90 runs without losing a wicket.

George Munsey scored 41 runs while Michael Jones added 45.

Scotland Injuries & Team News

Scotland have some experienced players but plenty of youth as well. They will want their batsmen to score some runs with the bowling lineup looking quite strong.

Verdict

Namibia v Scotland

Namibia are backed to upset the odds with a win. Jan Frylinck is tipped to top score for Namibia.

On Scotland's side, George Munsey looks in fine form.
