Namibia Preview
Namibia have looked strong in recent games, winning three of their last four matches. Their batting revolves around Malan Kruger, JP Kotze, Gerhard Erasmus, Jan Frylinck, and JJ Smit. Kruger’s gritty 80 against Canada highlighted his composure, while Frylinck’s 60 off 52 balls showcased his aggressive intent. JP Kotze’s 38 and Loftie-Eaton’s quickfire cameo further strengthened their middle order. With the ball, Bernard Scholtz continues to be their trump card, scalping 4/31 in the last match. JJ Smit’s 3-wicket burst with the new ball and Trumpelmann’s pace make them a dangerous attack. Namibia will bank on all-round contributions to challenge Scotland’s consistency.

Scotland Preview
Scotland enter this clash with high confidence after a dominant 7-wicket win over Canada. George Munsey’s unbeaten 84 was the standout knock, supported by Richie Berrington’s composed 64*.
