Debutants Namibia, who sealed a place in the Super 12 with two stunning wins, will look to continue their fairytale run when they take on a bruised Scotland in the ICC T20 World Cup here on Wednesday.

Gerhard Erasmus and his boys stunned the cricketing world when they beat the Netherlands by six wickets and then notched up a shocking eight-wicket victory over Ireland to grab a spot in the Super 12. The win over Ireland was their first against a Test-playing nation and also guaranteed Namibia a spot in next year’s T20 World Cup.

Having earned its right to rub shoulders with the cricketing elites, Namibia will now be keen to test their skills against the best in business and a win over Scotland will do them a world of good before they take on the likes of Afghanistan, India, Pakistan and New Zealand in Group 2.

Scotland, on the other hand, were flying high with three successive wins in the first round before they were brought down to earth by Afghanistan with an embarrassing 130-run defeat.

Kyle Coetzer’s men were skittled out for a paltry 60 in 10.2 overs while chasing a challenging 190, and they will need to avoid any such hiccups against a team which is brimming with confidence.

The duo of skipper Erasmus and all-rounder David Wiese scored bulk of the runs as Namibia overhauled targets of 164 and 125 with plenty of balls to spare in the last two games. Wiese has also starred with the ball, taking three wickets with his medium pace, while left-arm pacer Jan Frylinck too dished out a superlative performance.
