Pakistan vs Scotland T20 World Cup 2021: Toss result and playing 11s, today's match umpires list and pitch report

Pakistan take on Scotland in match number 41 of the T20 World Cup 2021 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Sunday. As far as the semi-final qualification scenario is concerned, Pakistan have already booked their berth in the knockouts. However, they would like to confirm their spot at the top of the points table in Group 2 with a win over Scotland.

A victory for Pakistan over Scotland on Sunday would see them end the Super 12 stage as the only unbeaten side. England’s winning run was halted by South Africa in Group 1 on Saturday. The Proteas registered a 10-run win in Sharjah. However, it did not impact England’s fortunes as they topped the group with the best run rate.

Pakistan will be keen to carry on with their excellent momentum. They cruised to a 45-run victory over Namibia in their previous game. Scotland, who were bundled out by India for 85, have another tough challenge in the offing.
