Preview:

Scotland will be up against Namibia in the 5^th match of the UAE Summer T20 Bash 2021 on Saturday. As expected, Scotland thrashed Papua New Guinea by 8 wickets in their previous game with 13 balls still left in the match. George Munsey and Richie Berrington were the top performers for them. They look to extend their winning streak against Namibia as well.

Namibia were too professional in the last game against UAE and won the game by 17 runs. They set the target of 160 and defended quite successfully in the end. Jan Frylinck was brutal with the ball as he picked up 6 wickets. Both the teams have got some serious talent at their disposal and we can expect a good game of cricket between them.
