Ireland Team News & Playing 11
Their batting is going to rely mainly on William Porterfield, Paul Stirling and Kevin O'Brien all three of whom have made good scores of late. Skipper Porterfield has so far scored the most runs for Ireland in the tournament and the team will expect him to play a valuable knock in this match. Boyd Rankin, Tim Murtagh and Andy McBrine have been impressive with the ball and they will be needed to put up a good performance here. Rankin has been the pick of the lot and he will be backed by his side to take the early wickets.

Scotland Team News & Playing 11
Matthew Cross and Calum MacLeod struck 114 and 78 respectively in the last game against the UAE to propel their team to a match-winning total of 322. MacLeod is leading the runs charts for Scotland and he will be having high expectations on him going into this match. The team will turn to their three pacemen Safyaan Sharif, Bradley Wheal and Chris Sole to do the damage with the ball. While Sharif has taken the most wickets for Scotland in the tournament, Sole is coming off a four-wicket haul against the UAE.

Ireland vs Scotland Prediction
Scotland have been very impressive in the tournament thus far. They have played five matches and have not faced defeat even once. So they are coming into this match with a clean slate and high on confidence. However, they don't have a good record against Ireland who have beaten them 14 times in 18 one-day internationals. Ireland have also won their last three completed matches against Scotland which will serve as a big psychological boost for them. Although Scotland have shown that they have what it takes to win matches, we feel that the scales are tipped slightly in favor of Ireland.
Final Verdict: Back Ireland to beat Scotland.
