Ideal start

It has been the best possible start Namibia, something that they would have hoped for.

Captains speak

Richie Berrington (Scotland): “Kyle Coetzer is nursing a finger injury so I'm standing in as his deputy today. Craig Wallace comes in for him. We are putting the Afghanistan game to one side now, and we are happy with the cricket we are playing at the moment. It doesn't throw us off, and we are ready to get back on track. Namibia are a strong side, and it'll be a good game, but we are ready and raring to go.”   

Gerhard Erasmus (Namibia): “We're having a bowl. The dew plays a big role and we have a strong bowling attack, so we hope we can perform. It was an emotional group stage, and we have to regroup after that. Wiese is a great performer, but 10 other guys are raring to go today. There's a lot of potential and we want to unleash them as well. We play each other often, so we know them quite well. We are going in with the same side, no changes.”
