Zimbabwe are favorites to win
Scotland take on Zimbabwe in the final match of Pool B in the 2022 T20 World Cup at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart on Friday evening. Both teams have won one and lost one in the tournament and a win in this fixture will guarantee a place in the top two of the pool and progression to the second round. Read on as we preview the match. This game gets underway at 19:00 local time.
Scotland looked like they were on the verge of qualifying for the Super 12 stage but were beaten by an incredible innings from Curtis Campher on Wednesday. They will need to be at their best with the ball if they are to win here.
Zimbabwe failed to back up their win over Ireland and were comfortably beaten by West Indies on Wednesday evening. Player for player, they have a stronger team than Scotland.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Sky Sports Cricket, Star Network, Fox Sports, ESPN and PTV.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Sky Go and Disney+ Hotstar
Scotland won the toss and chose to bat first on Wednesday whereas Zimbabwe are yet to win a toss in the tournament. We predict that Zimbabwe will bowl first irrespective of who wins the toss.
There is some pace in this wicket and we have seen the quick bowlers have plenty of success on this pitch so far. That said, talented spinners like Sikandar Raza will also get turn at the venue.
It will be very cloudy at the start of the match and we expect rain to arrive during the second innings at the Bellerive Oval.

It was no surprise to see Scotland select the same XI from their historic victory over West Indies for Wednesday’s clash with Ireland. There are no injuries or players unavailable for this match and we expect Scotland to again be unchanged.
Scotland have won only one of their last nine IT20s with the win coming against West Indies on Monday.

Skipper Craig Ervine was forced to miss the defeat to West Indies in T20 World Cup 2022 after suffering a mild asthma attack on the morning of the game. Regis Chakabva took over as captain with Tony Munyonga coming into the team. However, we expect Ervine to be back to lead the side in this clash.
Zimbabwe had won three of their last four matches in this format before the defeat to West Indies on Wednesday.
Regis Chakabva (wk), Craig Ervine (c), Wesley Madhevere, Sean Williams, Sikandar Raza, Milton Shumba, Ryan Burl, Luke Jongwe, Tendai Chatara, Richard Ngarava, Blessing Muzarabani
Zimbabwe lead Scotland 3-1 in the head to head in this format. Scotland’s only victory came in Edinburgh in September 2021 when they won by seven runs.

The bookies are expecting a close game although they have Zimbabwe as clear favourites. A win for Scotland would be their second upset of the competition.

There are talented players on either side but it is a fact that Zimbabwe play far more IT20s than Scotland. The greater match-practice could well be crucial for Zimbabwe.
Mathew Cross, George Munsey and Michael Jones are our batting tips for Scotland. Cross has hit five half-centuries in IT20s so far.
We recommend Sean Williams, Craig Ervine and Sikandar Raza with the bat for Zimbabwe. Williams has hit nine centuries across Tests and ODIs with nine half-centuries in IT20s.
We are backing Mark Watt, Brad Wheal and Josh Davey as the top bowlers for Scotland. Wheal has taken three wickets in Pool B so far.
Blessing Muzarabani, Sikandar Raza and RIchard Ngarava are our picks with the ball for Zimbabwe. Pace bowler Ngarava has 24 wickets in IT20s.
This should be an excellent contest between two teams who know that a win in this match will see them go forward to the Super 12 stage. Scotland have a strong batting line-up but they are lacking a real quick pace option. We are backing Zimbabwe to win.
