Scotland have been in impressive form in the warm-ups and are competing in their second successive T20 World Cup. This game begins at 18:00 at the Al Amerat Stadium.
Bangladesh impressed in the most recent ODI World Cup and will be many people’s dark horses for the semi-final in this tournament. They will be very confident ahead of this match.
A couple of weeks ago, this game would have looked like an impossible mission for Scotland. However, after very impressive performances since arriving in the UAE, Scotland now look like a very competitive side in this format.

Bangladesh Team News & Playing 11
BAN Team News
Shakib Al Hasan arrives in Muscat straight after the IPL Final. The all-rounder is so important to the Bangladesh side that we expect him to go straight into the XI.
BAN Key Players
- Shakib Al Hasan- one of the world’s top all-rounders in any format. He made the 2019 World Cup Team of the Tournament and we would expect him to do the same in this competition.
- Liton Das- the Bangladesh opener has 4 ODI centuries but is yet to transfer that heavy run scoring into the IT20 format.
- Mustafizur Rahman- the left-arm pace bowler has arrived from the IPL and is a vastly experienced bowler in spite of only recently turning 26.
Bangladesh have been inconsistent in this format since the last world cup. However, in front of a home crowd, we expect their performance levels to go up a notch or two.
Bangladesh Predicted Playing 11
Mohammad Naim, Liton Das, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah (c), Afif Hosain, Nurul Hasan, Mahedi Hasan, Mohammad Saifuddin, Nasum Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman

The Purple Caps have no injury worries ahead of their opening fixture and should be at full strength in T20 World Cup 2021. Ollie Hairs is available after picking up an injury in a warm-up game but is not expected to make the XI
SCO Key Players
- George Munsey- the left-hander opener has been flaying bowling attacks over the last fortnight in the warm-up fixtures. He has an unbeaten century to his name in this format.
- Kyle Coetzer- Scotland’s experienced captain is approaching 130 international caps. He scores his IT20 runs at an impressive strike-rate.
- Mark Watt- the left-arm spinner took 3 wickets against England in the 2019 win and has a 5-wicket haul to his name in this format.
Although they have suffered a few defeats along the way, Scotland look very well prepared ahead of the tournament.
