via The Namibian5 hours ago5 min read
The FNB Namibia Eagles are currently in fifth place in the Cricket World Cup Division 2 standings after a seven-wicket loss to Scotland. This defeat, coupled with only one win in their Tri-Nations series against Oman, has left them trailing the top four teams. The United States leads the log with 36 points, followed by Scotland with 34, Oman with 29, and the Netherlands with 28. Namibia has 22 points from 28 matches. The top four nations will advance to the final qualifier for next year’s World Cup, which Namibia will co-host with South Africa and Zimbabwe. In the recent match, Brendon McMullen was instrumental for Scotland, taking three wickets and scoring a century. Namibia, after electing to bat, was all out for 198, with Louren Steenkamp scoring 67 and JJ Smit adding 43. Scotland successfully chased the target with 12 overs to spare, despite early wickets from Ruben Trumpelmann.
