Pakistan vs Scotland Match Prediction & Betting Tips, T20 World Cup 2021
The penultimate game in Group 2 of the Super 12 stage sees Pakistan and Scotland clash on Sunday evening in Sharjah. Pakistan have a 100% record in this year’s tournament and are already confirmed in the semi-finals. Scotland have lost all four of their games in the Super 12s and will not be progressing. Read on as we preview this match. The game begins at 18:00 local time.
Pakistan have beaten three very different sides in India, New Zealand and Afghanistan so far. They have shown that they have the skills to win against bowling attacks who favour pace and spin.
Scotland were tipped by many to reach this stage of the tournament but are expected to struggle against the top teams. They were well beaten by Afghanistan on Sunday and will do well to last 20 overs with the bat in this match.

Both sides will want to field first although Pakistan did elect to bat first after winning the toss in their last game against Namibia.
PAK vs SCO Match Pitch Report
The pitch in Sharjah has typically favoured the spin bowlers. However, they are also at risk of going for plenty of runs with short boundaries on offer. A par score will be no more than 150 on a slow, low, turning wicket.
Weather Report
There will be clear skies during this evening fixture with the temperature between 29 and 27 degrees in Sharjah.

PAK Team News
With qualification already secured, there could be a temptation for Pakistan to rest and rotate some players. However, with no injuries being reported from the camp, and the team playing at such a high level, we expect them to retain the same XI who have served them well so far in T20 World Cup.
PAK Key Players
- Babar Azam- the captain hit seven fours in his 49-ball 70 against Namibia. It was his third score of 50+ in the tournament so far.
- Mohammad Rizwan- the keeper-batter posted another impressive score on Tuesday. His 50-ball 79 not out was enough to secure the Player of The Match Award.
- Shaheen Shah Afridi- the aggressive left-arm pace bowler had an off day against Namibia but will be fired up to make amends in this game and will feed off the enclosed intimate surroundings of the stadium.
Pakistan have been unstoppable in the tournament so far and will be looking for their fifth successive IT20 win in this match.
Pakistan Predicted Playing 11
Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik, Asif Ali, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Hassan Ali, Haris Rauf, Shaheen Shah Afridi
Scotland Team News & Playing 11
SCO Team News
After giving an excellent account of themselves against New Zealand on Wednesday, Scotland found India to be much tougher and more ruthless opponent on Friday. There are no new knocks and we expect Kyle Coetzer to select the same XI from his fully fit squad.
SCO Key Players
- George Munsey- the left-handed opener has got out in the 20s five times out of seven in the 2021 T20 World Cup. He will be desperate to go further in this match.
- Michael Leask- the all-rounder has enhanced his reputation during this competition with consistent handy runs lower down the order to take his side to a more respectable total.
- Mark Watt- the off-spinner has really enjoyed the conditions in the UAE and has offered his captain plenty of control as well as seven wickets in seven games.
Three successive wins in the First Round have given way to four successive defeats in the Super 12s. Scotland have fought valiantly but ultimately have not been able to make enough runs.
Scotland Predicted Playing 11
George Munsey, Kyle Coetzer (c), Matthew Cross (wk), Richard Berrington, Calum MacLeod, Michael Leask, Chris Greaves, Mark Watt, Josh Davey, Safyaan Sharif, Brad Wheal
