IND vs SCO: It has been a disappointing start to this year’s T20 World Cup for India, but after a dominant win last game, they’re all set to play Scotland in their upcoming encounter.
India are walking into this encounter with a magnificent win over Afghanistan. A magnificent 140-run opening stand between KL Rahul & Rohit Sharma helped India get to a enormous total of 210/2. KL Rahul scored 48-ball 69 while Rohit Sharma scored 47-ball 74. While defending, Mohammad Shami’s 3/32 & Ravichandran Ashwin’s 2/14 helped India get a 66-run win.
Meanwhile, Scotland faced a disappointing loss against the Kiwis. Martin Guptill’s 56-ball 93 helped Kiwis storm to 172/5. Safyaan Sharif & Brad Wheal picked up two wickets each. While chasing, Michael Leask starred with the bat scoring an unbeaten 20-ball 42 but couldn’t help his side get over the line as Scotland fell short of 16 runs.
In the upcoming encounter, India are undoubtedly the likely team to win the match.
