Scotland vs Afghanistan 2019: When and where to watch, live streaming, telecast details and fixtures

The much anticipated International cricket arrives in Scotland, as they prepare to host two Cricket World Cup 2019 aspirants, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka in May 2019. First they will welcome the Afghans for the two match ODI series in May 2019 at the Grande Cricket Club in Edinburgh. The first ODI is scheduled to be played on May 8, 2019, followed by the second game on May 10, 2019.

For Scotland, it's a platform to showcase their competitiveness in the elite group, while for Afghanistan, it's an opportunity to have a reality check under new skipper Gulbadin Naib, and the skipper would love to find the right combination and get all the loopholes filled ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.

This will be Afghanistan's second ODI series visit at the Edinburgh and first after acquiring ICC Test status in 2018. The Afghans will undoubtedly begin this series as favourites due to their convincing unbeaten record over the hosts in Grande, but one can not underestimate Scotland capabilities, after their commanding victory over England in the 2018 summer.

Meanwhile, after the conclusion of series, the Afghans will travel to Ireland for two match ODI series scheduled to be played on May 19 and May 21st 2019, at the Civil Service Cricket Club, Belfast. While Scotland will host the Asian Islanders for an ODI series on May 18 and May 21, 2019. Both games will be played at the Grande Cricket Club in Edinburgh.
