WI vs SCO Preview

• Scotland has only competed in two T20 Internationals since their last T20 World Cup campaign, losing both times.
• Only two of West Indies’ previous 10 T20I matches have they won in 2022.
• The in-form athletes most likely to have a significant influence are Alzarri Joseph, Odean Smith, and Brandon King.

 

On Monday afternoon in Tasmania, Pool B of the first round of the T20 World Cup features a match between Scotland and the West Indies. The defending T20 World Cup champions, West Indies, only managed to win one of their five games. Despite winning Pool B, Scotland dropped all five of its games in the Super 12 Stage. At 15:00 local time, the game begins at Bellerive Oval in Hobart.

In comparison to the T20 World Cup last year, West Indies has an entirely different team and has had trouble maintaining consistency. Having said that, they ought to be too powerful for Scotland in this game.

The fact that Scotland and West Indies joined the competition at the same time demonstrates how far they have both gone. Scotland will be thrilled to play West Indies in their debut match. It will be a very difficult opening game, though.

Scotland Team News & Probable Playing XIs

Scotland experienced a rollercoaster during the 2021 T20 World Cup. However, they were unable to defeat the tougher teams in the second round after defeating Bangladesh in Pool B. They still have a big portion of the squad from last year, who will have benefited from those experiences.
