SCO v NAM Match Preview:

Scotland won all three of their Round 1 matches to qualify for Super 12. 
Scotland batting has performed in bits & pieces in their 3 wins. There were many 40+ scores but only one half-century - Richard Berrington scored 70 off 49 balls against Papua New Guinea. However, none of the batters had an answer to Afghan spinners in their first Super12 match.

The Scottish bowling attack looks threatening with Josh Davey, Safyaan Sharif, Mark Watt and Chris Greaves who have tasted success in their Round 1 matches.

Namibia, are the surprise entry in Super 12, as they defeated Netherlands & Ireland in their Round 1 match. For Namibia, former South African all-rounders who is now in Namibia, David Wiese has been a one-man army for the team. Apart from him, only skipper Erasmus has shown some promise in batting.

Namibia bowling hasn't shown much to praise except Jan Frylinck who has picked 2 wickets against Netherlands & 3 wickets against Ireland, & David Wiese.
