Preview

Cricket fans are ready to witness yet another do-or-die battle of the World T20 Series 2022. The match will be held between Scotland and Zimbabwe on Friday, October 21. The game is scheduled at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart. 

Scotland has played four matches against Zimbabwe and had managed just one victory against them.

So far now in this season, the execution of plans has gone very much in the right direction for Scotland. They had played two matches so far with one win and the other losing. They are leading the Group B points table. They have a very good net run rate and another win in this game can take them to the slots of the Super 12. 

On the other hand, Zimbabwe has also managed to win one out of two matches. There are four teams in each group and only the two best teams from each side will make it to the Super 12. This match will create a must-win situation for both the teams playing in this match.
