Namibia have set a 156-run target for Scotland in match 12 of the T20 World Cup 2024 at Kensington Oval Cricket Stadium in Barbados on Thursday.
The Scottish bowlers dominated the Namibians after the latter opted to bat first. Only skipper Gerhard Erasmus was the notable batter. Striking fireworks for the side, the skipper hit 52 runs off 31 balls with the help of five boundaries and two maximums. Zane Green scored 28 runs off 27 deliveries with a six and a four.
This is the fourth Group B match of the tournament. Both teams have made no changes from the last game they played.
Namibia bagged a win in their first game against Oman while Scotland’s game against England was abandoned due to the rain.
Namibia captain Gerhard Erasmus said they are looking go with the same set-up of win while batting first.
“It’s going to be slow conditions all round, we have the right set-up to win the game batting first. The formula changes a little, gives us the freedom to play rather than just chase.
“We want to sharpen up from Oman, sluggish in the second half of the game. A great rivalry in the Associate world, we’ve been lucky to be on the winning side in the T20 format,” he added.
