In the 37th match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, India will be facing Scotland in the group fixture at Dubai International Stadium at 7:30 PM IST on Friday.
After facing two consecutive defeats against Pakistan and New Zealand respectively, India registered an emphatic 66-run victory against Afghanistan. A comprehensive win in their last fixture will certainly boost the confidence of the Indian team for the remainder of the tournament. With the resurrection of the form of the opening pair along with a decent bowling effort, the hosts have found their rhythm. With a slim chance of qualifying for the knockout stages, the former T20 World Champions will aim to win all their remaining games.
Scotland will be heading into this fixture on the back of a 16-run defeat against New Zealand earlier this week. Scotland did a decent job with qualifying for the Super 12 stage. The Scottish are yet to register to a victory in Super 12 while playing amongst the well-established teams. Playing against the Indian team, who seems to be back on the track, will be a major task ahead of Scotland on Friday.
Head-to-head:
The two teams have played against each other only once in the T20 World Cup. The fixture took place in the 2007 T20 World Cup, the game was abandoned without even playing a single ball.
