Scotland is on a tour of Namibia for a short three-match T20I series. The first match of the series will take place today at the Namibia Cricket Ground, Windhoek.
Both teams recently faced each other in the last match ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 cycle, where the Scots thrashed the Namibian Eagles by seven wickets with 72 balls to spare.
Namibia will enter the match as a serious contender, as they possess some excellent all-rounders in the form of Jan Frylinck and JJ Smit. Both players give balance to their playing XI with their hard-hitting abilities and useful bowling contributions.
Also, the inclusion of Ruben Trumplelmann and Bernard Scholtz provides both variations to their bowling arsenal with pace and spin, respectively.
Scotland, on the other hand, will be riding high on the success of the recently concluded ICC Men's ODI World Cup League 2 cycle and will look to carry on the momentum in the T20I series as well.
Brandon McMullen has been in great form in recent times, while George Munsey and Matthew Cross have taken the mantle of providing their teams with consistent starts.
While Mark Watt has led the Scottish bowling attack, he has been quite well by the pace of Safyaan Sharif, who has proven his effectiveness in defending totals quite well.
