T20 World Cup: Skipper Richie Berrington and Michael Leask starred for Scotland as they beat Namibia by five wickets to pick up their first win of 2024 T20 World Cup on Friday (as per IST).

Skipper Gerhard Erasmus' powerful 52 from 31 balls guided Namibia to a competitive total of 155/9 at the Kensington Oval. In response, Berrington's unbeaten 47 off 35 balls and Leask's 35 off 17 steered the chase after an early bout of the jitters to chase down the total with nine balls to spare.

It was Scotland's first T20I victory over Namibia and they’ll now move above the African nation in the ICC rankings.
