On the day of the game, rain is anticipated.
The variation of Zimbabwe’s bowling will present a test for the Scottish batters.

On Friday night at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart, the 2022 T20 World Cup’s last Pool B encounter pits Scotland vs Zimbabwe. Both sides have one victory and one defeat in the competition, and a victory in this match will ensure a spot in the top two of the pool and advancement to the second round. The start time of this match is 19:00 local time.

Scotland appeared to be in a position to go to the Super 12 stage on Wednesday, but they were defeated by an outstanding performance from Curtis Campher. If they want to win here, they will have to be at their very best with the ball.

Zimbabwe was soundly defeated by West Indies on Wednesday night after failing to build on their victory over Ireland. They are a stronger side than Scotland, player for player.

SCO vs ZIM Match Toss Prediction

The team that wins the toss will likely field first because rain is predicted to fall during the game.

SCO vs ZIM Pitch Report

The Bellerive Oval pitch in Hobart has been somewhat two-paced. Batters must remain at the wicket to become acclimated to the velocity of the ball and cannot just strike through the line. The pitch will move and bounce consistently for seamers.

Scotland Team News & Probable Playing XIs

It came as little surprise that Scotland chose to start the same lineup against Ireland on Wednesday as they did in their historic triumph against the West Indies. There are no injuries or absent players for this game, therefore we anticipate that Scotland will remain the same.

Zimbabwe Team News & Probable Playing XIs

The T20 World Cup 2022 loss to West Indies was missed by Captain Craig Ervine due to a small asthma episode he had the morning of the game. Due to the addition of Tony Munyonga to the team, Regis Chakabva became the new captain. However, we anticipate Ervine to return and captain the team in this contest.

Zimbabwe is the favorite to win this match.

This should be a great battle between two teams who are aware that a victory will advance them to the Super 12 stage. Despite having a potent batting order, Scotland is without a true quick-pace option. Zimbabwe is our pick to win.
