SCO-U19 vs NU19 Team Previews
Scotland U19
The group stages of the competition turned out to be difficult going for Scotland's U19 boys. They were always likely to struggle as they were part of a group with West Indies, South Africa, and England teams. As expected, the Scotland U19 team was between in all three of these games. However, some positives were coming out of these contests while going into this game. Although they lost their last match in the competition against South African U19s by a significant margin, there were several good things to take from that game for Scotland.
They did well, especially with the bat, scoring 269 runs while losing nine wickets from their fifty overs. So, the Scotland boys will be fancying their chances against Namibia U19. The Scotland U19 bowling attack picked up three wickets against the Proteas. Adi Hegde picked up one wicket, while Nikhil Koteeswaran picked up two. Logan Brigs went for a lot of runs in their last contest but he bowls his left arm spin well and might cause issues for the Namibian eleven.

Namibia U19
The Namibian U19 team was a part of the Group C of the tournament. It was also a problematic group with teams such as Australia, Zimbabwe, and Sri Lanka in it. The Namibians could not pick up any points but did a reasonable job by getting close to victories, especially against Australia U19. They caused a problem or two for the Aussies with their bowling. We are expecting another tricky clash against Scotland U19. The real problem for the Namibian outfit in the Group stages of the competition was scoring runs.
Namibians were bowled out for a paltry total of 91 runs in their encounter against Australia U19s. They were once again bowled out for 56 runs against Sri Lankans. But they did manage to reach a three-figure mark in their last game, and they will be keen to put up a big score of over 200 runs in this contest. The Namibian bowlers picked up sixteen wickets against Australia and Sri Lanka. Many people believed that Namibia could challenge Zimbabwe after they set a target of 147 for a win. But this was not to be, and Namibians could pick up just two wickets in the Zim chase.
