Scotland and Namibia will clash in the 21st match of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. We will cover SCO vs NAM Dream11 Prediction, Probable Playing 11, and Fantasy Cricket Tips.
Scotland:
Scotland performed exceptionally well in the qualifiers but lost their first match in the Super 12 against Afghanistan by a massive margin of 130 runs. They are currently at the bottom of Group 2’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup points table.
The opening pair, Munsey, and Coetzer started well, but Coetzer got out, scoring ten runs. The entire middle-order, comprising MacLeod, Berrington, Cross, and Leask, got for a duck, and it was tough to make a comeback from there. Munsey was the highest scorer of the inning with 25 runs.
The bowlers were the team’s primary strength, but they too failed to perform in the previous game. Safyaan Sharif and Josh Davey have picked up wickets consistently. Mark Watt got one wicket in the last match. Scotland needs to level up their game in the Super 12 or be eliminated in the group stage.
Namibia:
Namibia was the most incredible team that qualified for the Super 12, and they performed well in the qualifiers. They will be playing in the Group Stage of a World Cup for the first time.
They tried a new opening pair, Craig Williams and Zane Green, who provided a decent start but played more balls. Skipper Erasmus and David Wiese have scored the majority of runs for Namibia in the tournament. The lower middle-order is not yet testes properly and needs to play well if they want to compete against top-class teams.
Finally, the bowlers performed well as restricted the flow of runs and picked up wickets at regular intervals. Jan Frylinck and David Wiese have picked up wickets consistently for the team. Smit and Scholtz managed to get one wicket each.
Namibia might not have much experience in International Cricket compared to other teams, but they have talented players.
