Scotland secured their first-ever T20 International win against Namibia, triumphing by five wickets at the T20 World Cup in Barbados. Captain Richie Berrington led the charge with an unbeaten 47, supported by Michael Leask’s aggressive 35. Despite Gerhard Erasmus’ all-round performance for Namibia—scoring 52 and taking two wickets—Scotland chased down 157 with nine balls to spare. This victory propels Scotland to the top of Group B, which includes powerhouses England and Australia. Leask’s explosive batting and contributions from seamers Brad Wheal and Brad Currie, who took five wickets between them, were pivotal in Scotland’s historic win.
