Scotland Team News & Playing 11
SCO Team News
Scotland made a couple of changes in their last match against Namibia - they replaced Kyle Coetzer and Ollie Hairs with Craig Wallace and Michael Leask. The team will be hoping for their regular captain Coetzer, who missed the last match due to illness, to return on Thursday. But if he fails to recover in time, Richie Berrington will continue to lead the side and Craig Wallace will open the batting again with George Munsey.
SCO Key Players
Calum MacLeod: He has scored the most runs for Scotland in this tournament so far with 113 runs in four matches. Except for the game against Papua New Guinea in which he was dismissed for a duck, MacLeod has been making decent contributions at the top of the order.
Josh Davey: The pacer has picked two wickets in each of the four matches and finds himself among the tournament's leading wicket-takers with eight wickets at a pretty good economy of 6.86. Scotland will rely mainly on him to create pressure on Bermuda with the ball.
Richie Berrington: The allrounder is a vital cog in Scotland's line-up. In addition to scoring runs at the top of the order, Berrington can be pretty handy with the ball - he has taken three wickets in the two matches where he was asked to bowl.
SCO Recent Form
Scotland have won two and lost as many matches out of the four they have played so far in this T20 World Cup Qualifier and they are currently positioned third on the points table with four points in the bag. After losing the tournament opener by two runs to Singapore, Scotland secured back-to-back wins against Kenya and Papua New Guinea. They, however, suffered a 24-run defeat in their last match against Namibia.

Bermuda Team News & Playing 11
BER Team News
Bermuda made three changes to their line-up in the previous match against Namibia. Dion Stovell, Allan Douglas and George O'Brien were dropped and replaced with Malachi Jones, Derrick Brangman and Sinclair Smith. Kamau Leverock was promoted to the opening position while Okera Bascome was pushed down the order. Rodney Trott was made captain of the team and Sinclair Smith took over the wicketkeeping duties from Okera Bascome. Bermuda might go into this match with an unchanged eleven.
BER Key Players
Janeiro Tucker: He is the leading run-getter for Bermuda in this tournament with 82 runs and is the key man in the team's middle-order batting. Tucker smashed an unbeaten 50 off 34 balls in the match against Singapore and he will look to replicate that performance on Thursday.
Kamau Leverock: He has been the most impressive bowler for Bermuda in this tournament and has taken five wickets in four matches at an economy of 6.61. Leverock was outstanding with the ball last time against Namibia, returning figures of 3-19 from four overs.
Delray Rawlins: The left-hander has shown that he has the potential to score the big runs. He has made a couple of decent contributions in this tournament - 25 versus Papua New Guinea and 37 versus Kenya. Rawlins is pretty capable with the ball as well.
BER Recent Form
Bermuda are yet to register a win in the ongoing T20 World Cup Qualifier and are languishing at the bottom of the leaderboard having lost their first four matches on the bounce. Barring the game against Singapore which went down till the final over, the team has suffered big losses in all their encounters. Bermuda played their last match against Namibia which they lost by six wickets.
Bermuda Predicted Playing 11
Terryn Fray, Kamau Leverock, Delray Rawlins, Janeiro Tucker, Deunte Darrell, Malachi Jones, Onais Bascome, Okera Bascome, Rodney Trott (c), Derrick Brangman, Sinclair Smith (wk)
Scotland vs Bermuda Betting Odds
Scotland are unsurprisingly the favorites to win this match and they are being offered at extremely short odds of 1.05 on Bet365 and 1.04 on 10CRIC. Bermuda, in contrast, are huge underdogs for this match priced at 11 with Bet365 and 8.25 with 10CRIC.
🏆 Scotland vs Bermuda Prediction
Bermuda have not been able to find a way to put an end to their disappointing run in the tournament. They have lost all their four matches thus far and may not make it to the play-offs even if they win their remaining two fixtures. Scotland too do not find themselves in a comfortable position with two wins from four matches. Their shocking loss to Namibia in the last match has dashed their hopes of an automatic qualification for the Twenty20 World Cup next year. Nevertheless, they have performed better than Bermuda in this tournament and possess a lot more quality in their side. Scotland should garner a couple of points easily on Thursday if they play to their potential.
