Namibia and Scotland 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.
The Gerhard Erasmus-led Namibia are in Group A of the tournament proper, and will start their campaign with a clash against the Netherlands on February 10 at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. Other teams in the group are: co-hosts India, Pakistan, and the United States of America.
In their second warm-up match, Namibia will face India A on Friday.
For Scotland, this marks their final warm-up game. They lost to Afghanistan by 61 runs – all out for 123 runs in 19.3 overs while chasing a 185-run target – on Monday.
The Scots are in Group C of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, along with England, Italy, Nepal and the West Indies. For the uninitiated, Scotland were handed a late call-up to the 20-team tournament after Bangladesh were removed because of their refusal to play their matches in India.
Richie Berrington & Co. face the Windies in their tournament opener on February 7 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
