Probable Playing XI:
Scotland:
George Munsey and Calum MacLeod form the core of the batting department and the onus of run-scoring will lie heavily on their shoulders. Safyaan Sharif will lead the bowling attack and will be expected to pick up a wicket or two in this match.
George Munsey, Kyle Coetzer(c), Calum MacLeod, Richie Berrington, Michael Leask, Matthew Cross(w), Craig Wallace, Safyaan Sharif, Josh Davey, Mark Watt, Alasdair Evans
UAE:
After a horrendous batting display in the last game, the likes of Rohan Mustafa, Rameez Shahzad, and Muhammad Usman will have to step up to the plate and redeem themselves with a match-winning performance in this game. Junaid Siddique and Zahoor Khan will be vital from the bowling perspective.
Rohan Mustafa, Zawar Farid, Rameez Shahzad, Muhammad Usman, Darius D’Silva, Waheed Ahmed, Mohammad Boota(w), Ahmed Raza(c), Sultan Ahmed, Junaid Siddique, Zahoor Khan
Top Picks:
Despite a disastrous showing in the previous match, Rohan Mustafa has enough credit in his bank to find a place in the Dream11 Team. He is a menace with the bat as well as the bowl and is certain to garner plenty of points for the side. Muhammad Usman and Junaid Siddique should also be included in the team considering the duo excel in their respective departments. For Scotland, Matthew Cross is a reliable presence behind the stumps and with the willow in hand. He scored 52 from 44 balls in the previous match and could continue his good form in this game. George Munsey is a must considering his explosive style of batting at the top and ability to clear the boundary lines with relative ease.
Captaincy Options:
1: Rohan Mustafa
2: George Munsey
3: Muhammad Usman
