Captain effortless knock, along with Leask's all-round performance and Brad Pace, helped Scotland secure their five-wicket victory over Namibia in their T20 Cricket World Cup Group B game in Barbados on Thursday.

The weather had hindered the Scots in their first game two days prior at this same location, but Berrington's dominant knock of 36 balls (two fours, three sixes) and Michael Leask's timely assistance (35 off 17 balls, four sixes) helped them to a winning total of 155 for five with nine balls remaining.

Their joint effort in a fifth-wicket stand of 74 saw off Gerhard Erasmus's all-around efforts after the Namibian captain top-scored with 52 from 155 for nine, and then Scotland faltered at 73 for four in the eleventh over with figures of two for 29 off four overs.

Brief scores: Scotland 157/5 (Richie Berrington 47*, Michael Leask 35, Gerhard Erasmus 2-29) against. Namibia 159/9 (Gerhard Erasmus 52, Brad Wheel 3-33, Bradley Currie 2-16)
