MacLeod c Green b Trumpelmann 0 (Sco 2-2)
TRUMPELMANN IS IN DREAM LAND!
The seamer bowls one which keeps its shape, moving across the right-hander, Calum MacLeod fishes and it takes the nick. What a start for Namibia!
Sco 1-1published at 0.2 overs
Calum MacLeod is the new batter in. A Trumpelmann (I'll never get bored of saying/writing his name) wide gifts Scotland their first run.

Former Scotland bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialI don't know what Munsey was trying to do. It was too tight to cut.

Munsey b Trumpelmann 0 (Sco 0-1)
George Munsey is gone first ball!! A perfect start for Namibia and Ruben Trumpelmann!
It's a good line, outside off stump, and Munsey doesn't move an inch as he bottom edges into the stumps.
The batter was rooted to the spot as he tried to cut a ball which definitely wasn't there to be cut.

Seamer Ruben Trumpelmann, with bleach blonde hair and boyband looks has the ball in hand.
Some players opt to take a knee, others raise their fist.
Munsey on strike.

Namibia's fielders are huddled up and by the boundary edge. They'll shortly make their way to the middle, followed by Scotland openers George Munsey and Craig Wallace.

The sun has set in Abu Dhabi with the floodlights lighting up the beautiful Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
Anthems for both nations are played out, with their respective flags waving in the distance.
'We have five cricket pitches in the country'published at 14:53 British Summer Time 27 October 2021
Some Namibia players are not full-time cricketers and the coach has to buy snacks before training, so how have they managed to get this far in the T20 World Cup?
Captain Gerhard Erasmus explains all to BBC Sport.
