Namibia will face Scotland in the first T20I of the Scotland tour of Namibia 2026, which will be played at the Namibia Cricket Ground in Windhoek. Namibia is coming into the series with four consecutive losses in the recent T20I World Cup. However, they have a balanced squad and the advantage of playing at home, and they will be eager to showcase good cricket in this home T20I series. They have also won 3 of their last 4 T20Is against Scotland.
On the other hand, Scotland's recent form has not been as strong, having won just one match in the recent T20I World Cup against Italy. Both teams played their last head-to-head match in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024; where Scotland defeated Namibia by five wickets.
