Namibia triumphant in runs galore
Scorecard
Namibia opted to bat first in their warm-up fixture against Scotland and made full use of the decision, putting on a stunning display of aggressive, attacking cricket. Led by the opening pair of Louren Steenkamp and Jan Frylinck, Namibia raced to a remarkable 137 in just 10.5 overs before Frylinck was dismissed after a superb 88.
Steenkamp followed in the next over after a brilliant 51 off 24 balls, but the momentum never dipped. Skipper Gerhard Erasmus (33 off 22), Ruben Trumpelmann (25 off 13), and JJ Smit (22 off 17) kept the onslaught going as Namibia powered their way to an imposing total of 226.
Scotland, in response, were not daunted by the target. Despite losing opener Michael Jones early, Brandon McMullen and Mark Watt counterattacked with a blistering 102-run partnership in just 7.1 overs before Watt was dismissed for 33.
