World T20 League 

Qualifiers, Match 2: BAN vs SCO: Preview, Match Details, Pitch Report,  Playing XI and Fantasy Picks

Preview

After missing out to qualify in the Super 8, Bangladesh will be desperate to get a spot in the Super 12. Scotland on the other hand will look to cause an upset and make a strong start to kick off their journey in the World t20 series.

Bangladesh has improved a lot when it comes to white ball cricket. They throw a strong challenge to all the leading countries and even beat them in crunch matches. They defeated New Zealand and Australia and won the series against them in this year itself. Thus, they are indeed a dangerous side and would be desperate to win all of their qualifying matches before getting into the Super 12.

Scotland on the other hand is a very new team when it comes to any major tournament. Their top order batsmen are power hitters and a lot of the things will depend on how well they play the Bangladeshi players. Mark Watt and Chris Greeves will be two very crucial players for the Scots. The left arm finger spinner, Watt is in a great form and in the spinning condition; he can flourish and can give Bangladeshis a hard time in the middle. To sum up, Scots have the team and the form that’s required. However, against the mighty Bangladesh, a lot of things need to go in their way.
