Scotland and Namibia will be facing each other in the T20 World Cup 2021 Super 12 games. Both the teams have reached thus far after doing quite well in the qualifiers. However, Scotland had a poor start to their Super 12 campaign after a loss against Afghanistan. For Namibia, this will be the first contest in this round and they would want to start off well.
Here are the three surprise picks for this game:
1. Gerhard Erasmus
The current skipper of the Namibia team is undoubtedly one of their better players and has shown in this tournament already that he can deliver on the big stage. His experience and sense of responsibility make him a prized asset in these conditions and he could be seen making a big score in this game. He is also a part-timer, so he could roll his arm at one point, so watch out for that as well. He has got 105 runs in three matches so far and would look for more.
2. George Munsey
The left-handed batter is an excellent T20 player but hasn’t managed to get his act together in this tournament so far. However, he did get going in the previous match, which is a really good sign for the Scottish team. If he can go ahead and get some runs, we might see sensational batting from his end with lots of reverse sweeps.
So, keep an eye on this young player because he is exceptionally talented when it comes to batting in the early stage of the innings. He has a total of 89 runs with the bat in this tournament and we might see him add some more to that tally.
3. Safyaan Sharif
In the three matches so far, he has taken four wickets and he left an impression on the tournament with his performances. In these conditions, he has been able to adapt his game quite well and we have seen that he can deliver at the biggest stage of them all. He is coming into this game after taking two wickets in the previous match against Afghanistan. Having said that, he could be a prized asset in this game. He has a total of four wickets in this tournament so far.
