They take on a Scotland side which has registered two wins in succession to find itself in the reckoning to occupy first place in the group.
Things didn’t begin in the bets of manners for Scotland but the side were quick to pick themselves up after their opening defeat and ensure it didn’t deter their ambitions of qualifying from the group into the ensuing stage. With wins over PNG and Kenya previously, the side are in a good position of making it through unscathed, one they’ll be looking to nail down come away inferior Namibia side today.
Despite putting on a small target infront of PNG in the previous encounter, one all of just 147 runs, Scotland did extremely well in their bowling travail to snare the side pulled off a sensational win. Thing looked bleak for them at one stage but the side did well to scrape their way back into the match, seeing heir restrictive death overs bowling take them to a 4 run win.
Elsewhere, Namibia were routed and trounced by the same PNG side in their previous outing, a massive 81 run defeat which saw them side completely fall apart.
