TEAMS PREVIEW
Namibia Preview
The last time Namibia took the field in a T20I match, they stunned the cricketing world by registering their first-ever win over neighbouring South Africa in a one-off T20I. Bowling first, Namibia restricted South Africa to 134 runs and then chased down the target off the final ball to seal a historic victory.
They enjoyed a remarkable run last year, winning nine of their 12 T20Is, with most of their losses coming against Zimbabwe. Led by Gerhard Erasmus, who brings a wealth of leadership experience over the past few years, Namibia have a proven match-winner at the helm.
Erasmus, Zane Green, JJ Smit and Jan Frylinck form the core of Namibia’s power-hitting, while Malan Kruger and Nicol Loftie-Eaton are more classical batters who can anchor the innings.
Left-arm spinner Bernard Scholtz will be one of Namibia’s key assets at this World Cup. Although he had a modest 2025, picking up only eight wickets in 10 matches, the spin-friendly conditions in India and Sri Lanka could help him regain form. Ruben Trumpelmann and Ben Shikongo are the two fast bowlers Namibia will look to give extended game time with the ball.
Namibia Predicted Playing XI:
Gerhard Erasmus (C), Zane Green (wk), JJ Smith, Jan Frylinck, Malan Kruger, Nicol Loftie-Eaton, Bernard Scholtz, Ruben Trumelmann, Ben Shikongo, Jack Brassell, Dylan Liecher
Namibia Actual Playing XI:
Malan Kruger, Gerhard Erasmus, Jan Frylinck, Louren Steenkamp, Jan Balt, Dylan Leicher, Jonathan Smit, Zane Green, Nicol Loftie-Eaton, Bernard Scholtz, Ruben Trumpelmann, Jack Brassell, Ben Shikongo, Willem Myburgh, Max Heingo
Scotland Preview
An unexpected visit to the Scotland side after Bangladesh's pull out of the tournament and the Scottish side have arrive with a loss against Afghanistan in the first warm up match at the Centre of Excellence Ground 1 on 2nd Feb.
After being asked to bowl first, Scotland struggled to contain Afghanistan’s strong batting line-up and conceded 184/6 in their 20 overs. Brad Currie and Mark Watt picked up two wickets each and bowled with reasonable control at times, but Scotland leaked runs in the middle and death overs, allowing Afghanistan to post a challenging total.
In reply, Scotland’s batting never really got going. They lost wickets at regular intervals and were unable to build any meaningful partnerships. George Munsey and Brandon McMullen showed brief intent.
While Matthew Cross and Mark Watt chipped in with useful runs, but the required run rate kept climbing. Afghanistan’s disciplined bowling, led by Azmatullah Omarzai and the spinners, bundled Scotland out for 123 in 19.3 overs, resulting in a heavy 61-run defeat.
Scotland Predicted Playing XI:
George Munsey, Michael Jones, Brandon McMullen, Richie Berrington (c), Finlay McCreath, Matthew Cross (wk), Mark Watt, Michael Leask, Chris Greaves, Brad Wheal, Brad Currie
Scotland Actual Playing XI:
Richie Berrington, Safyaan Sharif, Michael Jones, Matthew Cross, Michael Leask, Mark Watt, George Munsey, Tom Bruce, Bradley Wheal, Finlay McCreath, Chris Greaves, Olly Davidson, Bradley Currie, Brandon McMullen, Zainullah Ihsan
