Scotland ensured victory in their T20 series against Namibia thanks to a superb bowling display from seamer Mackenzie Jones.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 21-year-old Essex bowler took four wickets for 22 runs in his four overs as Scotland comfortably defended their total of 157-8. <\/p>\n

The Scots now have an unassailable 2-0 lead before Saturday’s third and final match.<\/p>\n

The hosts won the toss in Windhoek and having stuck Scotland in to bat, got off to an ideal start as Ruben Trumpelmann dismissed opener Finlay McCreath for a first-ball duck.<\/p>\n

The Scots failed to have any partnership greater than 30 in their innings, but cameos from Brandon McMullen (27), debutant wicketkeeper Owen Gould (24) and Jack Jarvis (32*) helped them post a competitive total.<\/p>\n

With the ball, Jarvis and Safyaan Sharif were both expensive, but the introduction of Jones swung the momentum in Scotland’s favour.<\/p>\n

He removed Jan Frylinck and Nicol Loftie-Eaton before George Munsey ran out Louren Steenkamp to leave Namibia 57-3.<\/p>\n

Left-arm spinner Olly Davidson also bowled superbly, conceding a measly 14 runs from his four overs, and pinned Alex Volschenk lbw for Scotland’s fourth wicket.<\/p>\n

Captain Gerhard Erasmus batted nicely for his 47, but when he spliced a Jones bouncer to Munsey, Namibia’s hopes of victory went with him and Scotland closed out the game for a comfortable win.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
