Scotland and UAE are set to face each other in Match No.8 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 warm-up on Thursday, October 13. The iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground will host the contest.

Scotland, captained by Richie Berrington, made an impressive start to their campaign. On Monday, they defeated The Netherlands by 18 runs at Junction Oval. Skipper Berrington top-scored for them with a 29-ball knock of 41.

Michael Leask also played a handy cameo of 37 off 21 with three fours and two sixes. Thereafter, Scotland restricted the Dutch team to 133 for seven. Fast bowler Brad Wheal was their standout performer with two wickets for 24 runs.

UAE, led by CP Rizwan, had a rough time coming into the World Cup. After not being able to qualify for the 2022 Asia Cup, they lost both of their matches to Bangladesh. In their first warm-up match, they lost to Nicholas Pooran's West Indies by 17 runs.

Junaid Siddiqui picked up five wickets for 13 runs, but his efforts went in vain. Zahoor Khan was also impressive after he accounted for two scalps. Muhammad Waseem scored an unbeaten 69, but UAE managed to finish on 135 while chasing 153.
