Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water,
this old show rolls back in town…and this time the town is Glasgow. Scotland,
who had a great spell in the least leg, are in second place where the visitors,
Namibia and Nepal, are 5th and 6th respectively. They
will be hoping to make some headway on the United States who occupy the last qualification
place.
The opening game between Scotland and Namibia went to form
with Scotland running out convincing winners – however it was today’s game that
looked a little more edgy. Namibia won the toss and elected to bat. They put on
220 despite the ever-impressive Sandeep Lamichhane’s 4-54. Unfortunately the
Nepalese bowlers couldn’t follow through – a trend that has continued
throughout the tournament. There are 2 Nepalese bowlers in the top 10 highest
wicket takers but they have no batters in the Top 25 highest run scorers. They
were all out for 180.
Matches continue through until Sunday when Nepal and Namibi
leave to be replaced by the United States and the UAE – two top 4 teams. That
could be a real test of Scotland’s metal.
