World T20 Series 2022

Match 3, Group B- WI vs SCO

Preview 

West Indies will visit Scotland on October 17 at 9:30 AM IST. This match will take place at Hobart's Bellerive Oval. Despite their past lacklustre performance, the two-time T20 World Series champions would have high expectations for the forthcoming game. However, Scotland has a really strong team, so it won't be easy.

Scotland would like to keep up their winning streak after defeating Netherlands by 18 runs in their previous exhibition game. Their all-arounder Richie Berrington will be crucial. Their pace attack will be led by Brad Wheal, Safyaan Sharif, and Josh Davey. Another player with the ability to make massive shots on demand is George Munsey.

Hot Fantasy Picks

Wicket Keeper

Nicolas Pooran: The southpaw packs a punch with bat in hand. He is a powerful striker of the cricket ball with plenty of experience in the T20 format. 

Batsmen  

Evin Lewis: He is recognised for his prowess to take the attack to the opposition bowlers right from the onset. With 1408 runs under his belt, the promising batter will be eager to start the campaign on a positive note. 

George Munsey: George Munsey is a dynamic strokemaker who typically prefers to dominate the bowling from the onset. 

All Rounders

Kyle Myres: Myres is coming on the back of a stellar Caribbean T20 League. He was the leading run scorer in the recently concluded tournament and would be keen to continue his dream show with bat in hand. Myres is also a more than handy bowler. 

Jason Holder: The former WI skipper is a decent bowling all rounder. He can cause trouble for the opposition batters with his deceptive pace variations and is a more than handy batter down the order.

Bowlers 

Alzarri Joseph: He was the leading wicket taker in the recently concluded Caribbean T20 League 2022. Joseph can fetch you some good points in this game. 

Match Prediction

We predict the Caribbeans to dominate and win this game.
