ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 Tri-Series, Windhoek
Namibia 198 all out (49 overs): Steenkamp 67, Smit 43
Scotland 199-3 (38 overs): McMullen 100; McMullen 3-47
Scotland win by 7 wickets
Scotland were helped to victory over Namibia by a superb Brandon McMullen century, giving them a first win in their World Cup League Two visit to Namibia.
The hosts set a decent target of 198 all out, as the Scots struggled to break the partnership of Louren Steenkamp and captain JJ Smit, who top scored with 67 and 43 respectively.
The middle-order pair put on 87 before Smit was caught by Michael Leask, off the bowling of McMullen.
After that, Namibia could only put on 22 runs for the fall of four wickets.
Scotland's openers wobbled, though, both caught LBW by Ruben Trumpelmann. George Munsey was out for nought after two balls, while Finlay McCreath only managed two from 15 deliveries.
However, McMullen, who struck three times with ball in hand and posted figures of 3-47, put on a fabulous 100 before retiring with cramp.
It takes the 26-year-old past the 2000 mark for runs scored for Scotland, made while scoring his fifth ODI century for his country.
He was assisted by captain Richie Berrington, who scored a notable 43, before Mark Watt and Matthew Cross combined to knock off the remaining 41 runs for victory.
It is a return to form for the Scots, who were beaten by Oman through the week in a game limited to 20 overs each due to weather conditions.
The previous two games were both wash outs, the first without a ball being bowled and the second after Namibia had racked up a score of 189-9.
Defending champions Scotland remain second in the World Cup League Two table, having now played four more games than leaders USA.
