SCO vs NAM: After a heartbreaking defeat in their opening game, Scotland will go up against Namibia in their second encounter of the Super 12.
Scotland played against Afghanistan in their opening game and the results didn’t quite add up to their expectations. Najibullah Zadran’s 59 and cameos from others powered Afghanistan to 190/4. While chasing 191, Mujeeb Ur Rahman’s mind-boggling 5/20 and Rashid Khan’s 4/9 in just 2.2 overs helped their side win by a whopping 130 runs.
However, this will be Namibia’s opening encounter of the Super 12. They last played a group stage game against Ireland which they won by 8 wickets. Jan Frylinck’s 3/21 helped restrict Ireland to a par total of 125/8. While chasing, Gerhard Erasmus’ unbeaten 53 helped ensure a comfortable win for Namibia.
The upcoming encounter will be an interesting one as both the teams have a good squad to play with. However, Scotland have a better shot at winning the match.
