Namibia Vs Scotland, Players to Watch out for
David Wiese
David Wiese is in brilliant form. He is winning games for Namibia on his own, and has carried his side into the Super 12s. The all-rounder is contributing with both facets, and making his presence felt. With tougher sides coming up, he is going to be a key player. Wiese has the quality to take on big sides, and he will like to show it soon.
George Munsey
In the first round, Munsey looked in good touch, but hasn’t kicked on to get a big score. He will want to bat deeper, and take the game close, making use of his timing and ability to find the middle of the bat.
Namibia Vs Scotland, Pitch Report
The surface has some assistance to the fast bowlers. Being an evening game dew will be a factor, making it easier to bat in the second innings. The ground has large boundaries, but the dew factor will prompt captains to chase if they win the toss.
