SCO Team News
30 year old Chris Greaves was handed his debut in the win over Papua New Guinea on Friday afternoon. He bowled very tidily and finished with figures of 1-17. There could be one enforced change after number three batter Oli Hairs had to retire hurt on 15.
SCO Key Players
- George Munsey - the powerful left-hander hit 7 fours and 1 six in his 33-ball 50 against Papua New Guinea at the top of the order.
- Richie Berrington- middle order batter has seen it all before and has plenty of experience to fall back on. He hit 5 boundaries in his unbeaten 41 on Friday.
- Hamza Tahir- the left-arm spinner has 20 wickets from 12 IT20s and impressed on Friday with the wickets of Assad Vala and Kiplin Doriga.
Scotland came into this series after losing a series to Zimbabwe but have looked very strong in the UAE so far.

Namibia Team News & Playing 11
NAM Team News
Namibia have put in two very professional performances since touching down in Dubai. The win in the warm-up game over PNG was to be expected but the victory over the UAE, which defied the ICC IT20 Rankings, was a real wake-up call to other teams.
NAM Key Players
- Craig Williams- at 37 years of age, the right handed top order batter still has plenty to give. He scored 57 from 37 balls against the UAE.
- David Wiese- the former South African international made his international debut for Namibia on Tuesday. He starred in domestic competitions in England and the Caribbean earlier this year.
- Jan Frylinck- the bowling all-rounder recorded his best IT20 bowling figures of 6-24 in the win over the UAE.
Namibia have a tough game to negotiate against Scotland but come into the game in particularly good form.
Namibia Predicted Playing 11
Stephan Baard, Craig Williams, Jean-Pierre Kotze (wk), JJ Smit, Gerhard Erasmus (c), Nicol Loftie-Eaton, Michiel du Preez, Jan Frylinck, Bernard Scholtz, Ben Shikongo, Tangeni Lungameni
