Match 17 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021 will see Scotland (SCO) take on Afghanistan (AFG) at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah on Monday.
After a historic qualification phase, Scotland are set to rub shoulders with the big boys as they face Afghanistan in their opening Super 12 encounter. Scotland have momentum on their side with the likes of Josh Davey and Richie Berrington firing on all cylinders. However, Afghanistan and their spin trio of Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi and Mujeeb Ur Rehman are a force to be reckoned with, especially given the sluggish nature of the Sharjah surface. With both teams keen to get their Super 12 campaign up and running, a cracking game of T20 cricket beckons on Monday.

Pitch Report
A slow track is expected for this fixture with batters having to work hard for their runs. There isn't much swing on offer for the pacers, something that the batters will look to exploit in the powerplay overs. However, inconsistent bounce could play into the bowler's hands, making for an even contest between bat and ball. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, but Dew could play a role in the second half of the match.
Today’s AFG vs SCO Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Rahmanullah Gurbaz: Rahmanullah Gurbaz is one of the most exciting batters in the world with his range of shots being unparalleled among the Afghan batters. Although he is expected to bat at number three, Gurbaz's technique against both pace and spin should hold him in good stead and give him the nod in your AFG vs SCO Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
George Munsey: Although George Munsey has blown hot and cold in the World Cup so far, his attacking prowess at the top of the order is one Scotland will be banking on dearly. With Munsey being due for a big knock in this tournament, he is surely one to keep an eye on in this game.
All-rounder
Mohammad Nabi: Mohammad Nabi comes into the tournament with high expectations, both as an all-rounder and a leader. The veteran all-rounder has a heap of experience to fall back on and with him likely to bat higher up the order, Nabi should deliver some valuable fantasy points in this game.
Bowler
Rashid Khan: Rashid Khan is undoubtedly one of the best bowlers in the world with his numbers speaking for themselves. The leggie comes into the tournament on the back of a decent run of form and will relish bowling in Sharjah with the pitch being on the slower side, making him a must-have in your AFG vs SCO Dream11 fantasy team.
