Despite a tie and a wash-out in Group B, Namibia and Scotland face a crucial match at Bridgetown with more than just pride on the line. Scotland, having seen a strong start against England cut short by rain, will hope the point gained keeps them in contention for the Super 8s, potentially leading to a net run rate battle for qualification.
Namibia, with two points from a super-over win over Oman, also eye a spot in the Super 8s. Both teams, unbeaten through regional qualifiers and never having beaten Namibia in T20s, recognize the stakes: a win at Kensington Oval brings them closer to direct qualification for the 2026 tournament, making this game a virtual knock-out.

This contrast makes the pitch conditions unpredictable, although it appears to have hardened. The weather forecast looks promising, with clear skies and temperatures around 30C expected. If this holds, it’s likely to be a bat-first day.
