Namibia vs Scotland: Prediction [T20 WC 2024] – Best Bets
Namibia and Scotland are both similar kinds of sides out to prove their mettle in the T20 World Cup. Namibia are coming off a stunning super over win over Oman but it remains to be seen if they will be able to stave off the challenge from Scotland. Here are the best bets for this Namibia vs Scotland match.
George Munsey to be Scotland top batter – 10Cric @ 3.2, BET HERE
George Munsey is certainly one of the best batters in the Scotland line-up. He opens the innings and has every chance of going big. Moreover, he is coming off an unbeaten 41 off 31 against England in the rain-hit game.
First ball of the match to be dot ball – 1xBet @1.68, BET HERE
Irrespective of the team that is batting first, looking at the conditions on offer, unless the bowler fumbles, the first ball of the match is likely to be a dot.
Namibia runs total in delivery 1 of Over 1 to be under 0.5 – Parimatch @ 1.63, BET HERE
Generally, the openers try to play out at least the first delivery of the game safely and hence, it is very much likely that it would be a dot ball in Namibia’s innings.

Head-to-Head Record Namibia vs Scotland
Namibia and Scotland have faced each other in nine T20Is so far. Namibia have won five of those matches while Scotland have emerged victorious on four occasions.
Namibia
Namibia are coming into this encounter after a win over Oman in the super over. But they would be disappointed to have not chased down the 110-run target. Nevertheless, they have two points to their name and would love to add two more to their tally to bolster their super 8 qualification chances. But for that to happen, they will have to bat well and make sure they don’t undo the good job from the bowlers.
Scotland
Scotland are coming off a washout against England in their previous encounter. However, they will take confidence from the fact that their openers George Munsey and Michael Jones added an unbeaten 90 runs in 10 overs before rain intervened for one final time. The bowlers are yet to get an opportunity and would be keen on taking the field in this game.
