Scotland will play their second match of 2024 T20 World Cup against Namibia later tonight (June 6) in Barbados. Both teams have opened their accounts in Group B, and the winner of tonight's game will rise to the top of the points table.

Namibia played out a low-scoring thriller against Oman a few days back, where the African side completed a win via Super Over. Meanwhile, Scotland had to share points with England owing to rain interruption in Barbados.

The same venue will host tonight's Scotland vs Namibia match. Before the Group B fixture begins, here's a short preview for this 2024 T20 World Cup contest.

Namibia vs Scotland pitch report

The pitch in Barbados is not the best for batting. Although Scotland scored 90 runs in 10 overs against England on this ground, the pace bowlers get good bounce from the surface, while the spinners can generate sharp turn.

Namibia vs Scotland weather forecast

The skies will be partly cloudy in Barbados for this afternoon fixture. The temperature is expected to be 29 degrees Celsius, with the wind speed predicted to be around 26 km/h.
