Cricket Free Tips | ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, Match 21: Scotland vs Namibia

Today, two qualifying nations, Scotland and Namibia, will play one-on-one in the T20 World Cup 2021’s 21st match. Scotland had a bad last game against Afghanistan when they were bowled out for just 60 runs after winning their matches in the first round. They had no idea what they were up against in spin magicians Rashid Khan and Mujeeb-ur-Rehman, and they lost by 130 runs. Now is the moment for them to regroup, and they have a great chance to open their account against Namibia.

On the other side, Namibia qualified for the Super 12 stages in their first-ever T20 World Cup campaign after defeating Ireland by 8 wickets in their penultimate game. With his all-around heroics, David Wiese played a huge role in getting things done for them. The side is currently performing a commendable job under the guidance of Gerhard Merwe Erasmus, and they are hopeful of providing their all in this match.

 

Weather
The temperature dropped from 31 degrees to 29 degrees between the start and finish of the competition due to clear skies.

 

Pitch
Bowling first is a good idea here. It is a used wicket because this is the second match of the day on Wednesday. The dew will be a significant factor in this match, as the bowlers may have difficulty gripping the ball.
