T20 World Cup 2021, Warm-Up Match 2: Scotland vs Netherlands probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, match prediction and live streaming details

Scotland will play the Netherlands in the second warm-up match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. The Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi will host this encounter.

The Scottish side will be led by Kyle Coetzer. Scotland performed well in the recently concluded UAE Summer T20 Bash. After their first game was abandoned, they won the following game against Papua New Guinea.

However, they failed to finish the competition on a high as they suffered a loss against Namibia in the last game.

Richie Berrington had a good run with the bat for the Scottish outfit. George Munsey looks in rich form and the dashing opening batter will look to carry his scintillating form ahead. The bowlers struggled a bit but will be eager to deliver on the global stage.

The Netherlands as a team has not had much time in the middle recently. Many of their players participated in the County Championship and their experience will be vital in the team’s progress. Pieter Seelaar is handed the responsibility of leading this side in the Qualifiers.

The experienced players in Ryan ten Doeschate and Roelof van der Merwe will play a major role for the Dutch side. They have been impressive whenever they are a part of the ICC event and will look to be at their best in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
