Scotland hold nerve against Namibia to ignite giant-killing dreams in Group B
Namibia won the toss at an overcast but dry Bridgetown, with captain Gerhard Erasmus opting to bat first.
And it was the skipper who made the biggest contribution as he helped get his side up to a competitive total of 155/9 at the Kensington Oval, hitting a powerful 52 from 31 balls before being stumped off Leask.
Scotland started superbly with the ball, picking up the first wicket before a run had been scored, as Brad Wheal had JP Kotze caught for a duck.
And two further wickets fell in the Powerplay, with Jan Frylinck (12) dragging a Brad Currie delivery onto his stumps and Nikolaas Davin (20) holing out off Chris Sole.
Zane Green (28 off 27) and David Weise (14 off 13) kept an impressive Scottish attack from running through the Namibia batting line-up, but late runs were hard to come by, with only Erasmus showing fluency out in the middle, as Scotland held the total to 155/9.
