Michael Jones scored 45 runs on 30 balls in this match, while George Munsey scored 41 off 31. Based on their previous performance against England, Scotland is the perfect side against Namibia. This is Scotland’s third consecutive ICC tournament.
On the other hand, Namibia won their first match against Oman in a Super Over, thanks to David Weise. In this match, Jan Frylinck was outstanding, scoring 45 runs and leveling the target against Oman. They also have veteran David Weise, who has vast experience in T20 cricket.
