And that is the game. Namibia win by 50 runs. A superb performance from them, first with the bat and then in the field. It took a while to get Berrington and Coetzer out, but they restricted the runs with superb fielding placements from Sarel Burger. That restricted the boundaries and runs, and they strangled the game away from Scotland. That is their first win in this competition since the first game back in 2015 vs Hong Kong.
