IND Team News
Varun Chakravarthy missed India’s big win over Afghanistan with a left-calf muscle injury. Although he had not bowled too badly in the two previous games, Ravi Ashwin came in and took 2-14 from 4 overs. We expect to see India retain the same XI for this match.

- Rishabh Pant- the attacking wicket-keeper showed his ability with an unbeaten 27 from 13 balls on Wednesday which included 3 sixes.
- Jasprit Bumrah- the pace bowler was the only India player to have taken a wicket in their opening two games. He took the crucial wicket of Hazratullah Zazai against Afghanistan.
After extending their losing streak to four games, India finally got a victory against Afghanistan. The performance in the win showed they are to be taken seriously in this tournament.

Alasdair Evans came into the Scotland side for his first Super 12 stage appearance against New Zealand at the expense of Josh Davey. However, Evans conceded 48 runs and we expect to see Davey back for this game. Captain Kyle Coetzer also returned to the side after recovering from his hand injury.
