It was mystery spin that did for Scotland today; one batsman after another failing to pick Mujeeb's off-breaks and Rashid Khan's googlies, just playing sweep shots and hoping for the best, which is a recipe for a collapse. Fortunately Namibia's spinners are mostly Steady Eddies who are easy to pick, don't get much turn, and aim to bowl dot balls rather than take wickets. They look to pace (especially Jan Frylinck) for wicket-taking threat, and Scotland have mostly played fast bowlers well in this tournament, so there's a fair chance of getting a decent score with the bat. Get Erasmus and Wiese out cheaply during Namibia's innings and that's half the job done with the ball. Should hopefully be an entertaining match.
