After losing a closely fought affair against Singapore in their first match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifier 2019, Scotland ended up getting their first win on Sunday. In what was yet another succulent batting display by the side, one vindictive of the immense depth in their batting order, the side scripted a 21 win over Kenya yesterday.
Batting first, Scotland went onto fray a languishing lopsided Kenya bowling unit to score a hefty 170 runs from their 20 overs, a score Kenya were never able to wrap their heads around. The side ended up managing to get to only 139, seeing Scotland make amends for their two run defeat suffered at the hands of Singapore.
Elsewhere, PNG come into today’s encounter with a win as well with the side having pulled off a clinical and comprehensive display, one akin to Scotland’s win over Kenya. Playing against Namibia, PNG galloped their way to a mammoth 81 run win, limiting Namibia to just 116 as they stepped out in pursuit of the 198 run target set infront of them.
With both the sides seeing their batting and bowling units intertwine their skill set in unison in their previous clashes to guide the sides to dominant wins, this match looks set to be a riveting affair. The margins for a win will be extremely bleak with either side looking to spare no expense in a bid to outshine the opposition.
Pitch Conditions And Toss
The initial pitches doled out over here couldn’t disguise the fact that these are disruptive surfaces for the batsmen. As the tournamnet has rummaged, the surfaces have completely failed to withstand the test of time with anything in them for the batters going up in smoke to make these tracks favourable for the bowlers.
The side winning the toss will be looking to come out and bat first today and put on anything close to 150.
