New Zealand are favourites to win
After their short two-game IT20 series ended on Friday afternoon, Scotland and New Zealand resume hostilities for one final game, an ODI on Sunday morning in Edinburgh. The IT20 series saw New Zealand cruise to victories by 68 runs in the first game and 102 runs in the second. Read on as we preview this ODI. The match gets underway at 11:00 local time.
Scotland have been well beaten in the IT20s and will be relieved to take on New Zealand in a new format in this game. The hosts have nothing to lose and we expect them to play with freedom.
New Zealand have been way too strong for Scotland so far on this tour and it would be a huge upset if they were to lose this game. They have plenty of depth with bat and ball and they very rarely underestimate an opposition.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Spark Sports in New Zealand.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Fancode in India.
Scotland won the toss and chose to bowl first in their recent victories over Nepal and Namibia. We expect both captains to want to field first in this match.
There were plenty of runs on offer on this wicket during the IT20 series and we expect more of the same. A par score will be over 350 with the pace-off bowlers getting plenty of assistance from the pitch.
There is a threat of light rain across the early parts of this match with clear skies and dry forecast for the rest of the game.

The return to the side of 38 year old Kyle Coetzer will mean a change in personnel and the batting order from the IT20s from Scotland. We expect them to line-up in the same way that they did against Nepal a couple of weeks ago with all the players from that game available for this.
Scotland have won three of their last four games in this format including an 8 wicket win over Nepal a fortnight ago.
Kyle Coetzer, Christopher McBride, Calum MacLeod, Richie Berrington (c), George Munsey, Matthew Cross (wk), Chris Greaves, Mark Watt, Safyaan Sharif, Gavin Main, Hamza Tahir
The Black Caps complete their cricket on the British Isles in this game and will be keen to wrap up a largely successful tour with another victory in Scotland. Although they crawled over the line in the ODIs against Ireland, with a fully fit squad they will expect to dominate the hosts from the off.
The Black Caps have won their last nine ODIs and were far too strong for Scotland during the IT20 series.
Finn Allen, Martin Guptill, Dane Cleaver (wk), Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, Jimmy Neesham, Mitchell Santner (c), Lockie Ferguson, Ish Sodhi, Ben Sears
As with IT20s, Scotland are still searching for their first victory over New Zealand in ODIs. This will be their fourth attempt after losing by 6 wickets in 1999, 8 wickets in 2008 and 3 wickets in 2015.

As expected the Black Caps are heavy favourites for this game. Although Scotland beat England at home in an ODI in 2018, the bookies are not expecting another upset this time around.
All of the New Zealand batters have produced the goods at some point during the white-ball games against Ireland and Scotland. Coetzer is a huge addition to the Scottish batting line-up.
Kyle Coetzer, Callum Macleod and Richie Berrington are our batting picks for Scotland. Macleod scored a century when Scotland beat England and he will be looking to repeat that feat in this match.
We are backing Martin Guptill, Finn Allen and Glenn Phillips with the bat for New Zealand. Phillips played his first ODIs in Ireland and will need a big score in this game to cement his place in the batting line-up in this format.
We recommend Gavin Main, Mark Watt and Hamza Tahir with the ball for Scotland. Tahir took seven wickets across his last two ODIs and should get plenty of spin from the surface in this game.
Our bowling tips are Lockie Ferguson, Ish Sodhi and Ben Sears for New Zealand. Sodhi has taken wickets in all of his last eight international appearances.
Although New Zealand easily got over the line in both of the IT20s, Scotland must remind themselves that both teams start at zero in this ODI. Cheered on across the day by a passionate home crowd, the hosts must start the game well to create a hostile atmosphere. We expect this match to be closer in the final analysis but are backing New Zealand to win.
