Scotland thwarted by rain against Namibia - BBC Sport Scotland were left frustrated by the weather for the second consecutive time in their ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 Tri-Series campaign in Namibia. The match against Namibia, played in Windhoek, ended without a result as heavy rain prevented Scotland from completing their innings. This follows the abandonment of their previous game against Oman on Thursday, which also saw no action taken. Scotland’s struggles with the weather have now led to six of their 26 matches being called off, double the number of any other team in the tournament. Namibia’s innings of 189-8 in 46.4 overs provided a platform for their bowlers to restrict Scotland’s batting opportunities. The hosts started strongly, with Scotland’s Jack Jarvis claiming the first wicket of the match by dismissing WP Myburgh for just one run. However, Namibia’s middle order responded with a crucial partnership between Louren Steenkamp and wicketkeeper Zane Green. Steenkamp scored 78 runs, while Green contributed 62, stabilizing the innings and pushing the total past 150. Their combined effort ensured Namibia’s score remained competitive, leaving Scotland with a challenging target to chase. Scotland’s decision to field first proved effective in the early stages, but the rain disrupted their plans. The abandonment of the match meant Scotland could not capitalize on their strong start, and the team’s inability to bat under the weather has become a recurring issue. This has impacted their overall performance in the tournament, as they currently sit second in the standings. Despite their position, Scotland trail the United States by four points, with the US having played two fewer matches and avoiding any abandoned games.#namibia #scotland #windhoek #icc_men_s_cricket_world_cup_league_2_triseries #jack_jarvis
