- This will be the third meeting in men’s T20Is between Scotland and Namibia, with the Eagles having won each of their previous two encounters including a five wicket-win earlier in October 2021.
- Scotland have won five of their last six men’s T20Is against non-Test playing teams, including their last two on the bounce; three of their five wins in that span have come after they had lost the toss on the day.
- Namibia have won eight of their last nine men’s T20Is heading into this fixture with their only defeat in that span coming at the hands of Sri Lanka on October 18, 2021.
- Namibia have a 67% win rate in men’s T20Is in the United Arab Emirates, the joint-second highest win rate of any of the 22 teams to have played more than five games there in the format; Scotland have won only 13 of their 29 men’s T20Is in the UAE.
- Scotland finished the First Round of the 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup with a catch rate of 87% - the highest of any of the eight teams in the stage; Namibia (67%) had the lowest catch rate of any team.
- Jan Frylinck (Namibia) has taken 17 wickets in his last seven T20I innings, including five wickets in his last two; he’s taken two wickets in each of his two previous innings against Scotland and has a career tally of 40 wickets – the most of any Namibia player in the men’s format.
- Safyaan Sharif is set to play his 50th T20I for Scotland, becoming the fifth player to make a half century of appearances for them in the men’s edition of the format; his career tally of 57 wickets is the most of any Scotland player in men’s T20Is.
- David Wiese (Namibia) bowled a slower variation on 25% of his 60 balls bowled in the First Round of the 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the highest rate of any player to bowl 50+ balls at the stage.
- George Munsey (Scotland) scored 61 runs during the power play in the First Round of the 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the most of any player; Munsey’s power play strike rate of 129.8 was the second best of any batter to face at least 20 balls in that period.
- Gerhard Erasmus (Namibia) scored 28 runs via cut shots in the First Round of the 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the most of any player and nearly twice as many as second-ranked Chris Greaves of Scotland (15).
