TOSS – The skippers walk out to the middle for an all-important toss. The coin goes up and lands in favour of Namibia. They will BOWL first.

Scotland passed the first hurdle exceedingly well as they topped their group winning 3 matches and made it through Super 12. However, in their first assignment, the Scottish side got hammered by Afghanistan as they put 190 on the board. They didn't enjoy their time with the willow as well as they got crumbled for just 60 runs. It is the perfect time for them now to regroup themselves and open their account with a win. So can Scotland put the humiliation of the last match behind them and get their first points on the table? Or will Namibia start their Super 12 journey on a positive note? Stay tuned for toss and team news.

Namibia will enter this match high on confidence. The side have won their last 2 matches and will look to make it hat-trick of wins. It is their first ever T20 World Cup appearance and made it through the Super 12s by thrashing Ireland in the qualifiers by 8 wickets. David Wiese played a huge role for them getting things done with his all-round heroics. The Gerhard Erasmus-led side are doing a commendable job and will be hopeful of giving their 100 percent in this match.

A warm welcome to the coverage of the 21st match of the T20 World Cup where two of the qualifying teams, Scotland and Namibia will go one on one against each other. Both sides have had special journeys to make it to this mega event and will be keen on making in their impact. So who are you backing up?
