Namibia and Scotland will face off in a warm-up fixture of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 on Wednesday, February 4, as both teams look to sharpen their skills ahead of the tournament’s Super 12 stage.
The match, set to begin at 1:00 PM local time (7:30 AM GMT), will be played at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground 2 in Bengaluru. Namibia, led by captain Gerhard Erasmus, come into the contest aiming to build momentum and fine-tune their batting and bowling combinations after recent competitive outings, while Scotland will be eager to bounce back and reinforce their credentials ahead of group matches.
Both sides will use this warm-up encounter to test strategies and give players crucial match practice on Indian pitches that can offer varied bounce and slight assistance to both pacers and spinners.
Namibia’s squad includes experienced campaigners like Malan Kruger and Bernard Scholtz, while Scotland’s team features key performers such as Richie Berrington and Matthew Cross as they look to assert themselves early.
Although the result won’t count towards World Cup standings, a strong showing will boost confidence for the real tournament beginning on 7 February 2026, allowing each side to iron out combinations and acclimatise to conditions.
