AFG Vs SCO ICC World T20 2nd Match - Betting Tips and Predictions

Finishing on top of the table in the World Cup qualifiers, the Scottish are all set for their third appearance in the ICC World Twenty20. After losing the first three play-offs including defeats from Netherlands and Afghanistan, they bounced back hard with victories over Canada, Oman and Kenya to steal the top spot and make their presence felt in world cricket. Scotland, with the kind of fighting spirit they have shown in recent times, will back themselves to qualify for the main round.

Fast Bowler Josh Davey will lead the Scottish bowling attack. He was one of the highest wicket-takers in the 50-over 2015 World Cup in Australia and can be considered for wagering on. Alasdair Evans is another fast bowler who has impressed the selectors. In the batting unit, there will be expectations on the attacking batsman Kyle Coetzer to take Scotland off to a flying start. Calum MacLeod and Richie Berrington will be the key batsmen at the top while Matt Machan will bring stability to the middle order.

Final Prediction

The Preston Mommsen-led Scotland have shown that they are a formidable side and possess the capability to stun the big teams. Their matches against New Zealand and Bangladesh in the ICC World Cup 2015 provide a clear evidence of this fact. Experts, however, have placed high betting odds in favor of Afghanistan, mainly because of their impressive form in the T20s of late. After beating Zimbabwe in their own backyard last year, they beat them again in two T20s in the UAE earlier this year. They had also secured wins against Oman and Hong Kong in the qualifying round of the recently concluded Asia Cup T20 2016. Afghanistan, thus, appears to be the better of the two sides and will take the field against Scotland as favorites.

Betting odds for Afghanistan vs Scotland ICC World T20 2nd Match:
