SCO vs ZIM Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11 and Pitch Report for 2nd T20I

The second T20I between Scotland and Zimbabwe is set to take place at the Grange Cricket Club Ground in Edinburgh on Friday.

Scotland managed to steal a big win in the previous game as a new-look Zimbabwe team fell short. However, Zimbabwe will be looking to get back at them and level the series with a good performance. But with Scotland's form coming into play, a good contest beckons a good contest in Edinburgh.

Pitch Report

As seen in the previous game, the pitch is slightly on the slower side with ample help on offer for the bowlers. The batters will look to maximize the powerplay overs, with the new ball likely to skid onto the bat. As the game progresses, the spinners will come into play, making for a good contest in the middle overs. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 150 being par at the venue.

Today’s SCO vs ZIM Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Matt Cross: Matt Cross couldn't get going in the previous game, although he did bat lower down the order for Scotland. However, he is an experienced campaigner and is one to watch out for with his big-hitting ability in the middle overs.

Batsman

Craig Ervine: Zimbabwe captain Craig Ervine has been in fairly decent form in all formats. Although Ervine did get a start in the previous game, he couldn't convert it into a big one, something he will want to rectify in today's game.

All-rounder

Richie Berrington: Richie Berrington was the star of the show in the previous game with a well-made 82, which earned him the man-of-the-match award as well. Although Berrington might not feature much with the ball, his batting prowess makes him a good option for your SCO vs ZIM Dream11 fantasy team.

Bowler

Luke Jongwe: In the absence of Blessing Muzarabani, Luke Jongwe has led the attack well with his accuracy and variations. He picked up a few wickets in the previous game and should add a few more to his tally today, making him one to watch out for in this game.
