Namibia (NAM) and Scotland (SCO) lock horns in match No. 12 of the T20 World Cup 2024 at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados, on Friday, June 07.

Namibia are coming off a thrilling super-over win in their first league game against Oman. With an exciting start to their campaign, Gerhard Erasmus and Co. will be hoping to take the same momentum forward in their upcoming matches. All-rounder David Wiese was the star in their last game as he took the Namibian side over the line. With the bat, he scored 13 runs including one boundary and one six in the super-over, and with the ball in hand, he scalped on wicket and restricted Oman to 10 runs in Super Over.

On the other hand, Scotland was up against England in their first league game which didn't fetch any result due to incessant rain. The Scottish side played a warm-up game against Uganda leading up to the World Cup but it got washed off. After this, Scotland were up against Afghanistan on May 31 in a warm-up game where they lost by 55 runs.

Both Namibia and Scotland have a balanced side and will be hoping to get the better of one another in the upcoming clash. A win for both sides will solidify their position in the standings.

The pitch conditions in Bridgetown, Barbados, are known for being balanced, offering assistance to bowlers due to their slow nature. As the game progresses, the pace of the ball decreases even further, making it challenging for batters to play freely. Both Namibia and Scotland played their previous match on this venue, and they will likely adjust their strategies accordingly. The weather forecast indicates mainly cloudy and humid conditions, with a possibility of scattered showers in the morning followed by thunderstorms in the afternoon.

Viewers will be able to catch the match broadcast on the Star Sports Network.

The match is scheduled to commence on June 07, 12:30 AM IST (Indian Standard Time).
