SCO vs ZIM Betting Tips

  • Craig Ervine comes into the series with three back to back fifties. We are backing him to play another good knock and take Zimbabwe to a win. He is our pick for Zimbabwe's top scorer.
  • From Scotland, George Munsey is a good choice for the top scorer. He has done well for them in the last two years and has scored a couple of half centuries and a big hundred.
  • Scotland have more power hitters in the team thus they are likely to hit more sixes in the match.

Scotland vs Zimbabwe 1st T20 Prediction & Betting Tips

After a successful tour of Ireland, Zimbabwe sets their sight on getting some favorable results against Scotland. The first of the three T20Is will be played at Grange cricket club, Edinburgh and will get underway at 8:30 PM IST 

Scotland has not played a lot of cricket in the the past year or so. They recently played against Netherlands and managed to win one of the two games. Before that, they participated in the Cricket World Cup League 2 involving USA and UAE and managed to win just one of their three completed games, losing to UAE and USA. Their batting looks slightly on the weaker side but given that they are playing in their home conditions, Scotland should fancy putting some decent run on the board. 

Zimbabwe haven't won a series in a while but they have won a few games. They have defeated teams like Pakistan and Bangladesh at home and had a decent tour of Ireland where they won one ODI and two T20Is. The likes of Craig Ervine, Sikandar Raza was in fine form against Ireland the two will once again hold the key for Zimbabwe if they have to post or chase big totals.

SCO vs ZIM Match Toss Prediction

The wicket should ease out as the match progresses thus chasing will be easier. 

SCO vs ZIM Pitch Report

The surface will be a good cricketing wicket with something in it for both , batters and bowlers. The new ball should move for the first few overs before the conditions get easier to bat. 

Weather Report

It's been raining in Edinburgh for the last few days and the forecast is not very good on match day.

Kyle Coetzer, George Munsey, Richie Berrington, Calum Macleod and Matthew Cross have been named in the Scotland squad 

SCO Key Players

  • George Munsey  - George Munsey has scored 428 runs in 12 innings at a strike rate of 159.10 with one century and two half-centuries to his name since September 2019. He will be raring to continue his form and take Scotland to a win in the first game. 
  • Kyle Coetzer - The skipper is also one of the prominent members of the team and despite not being in the best of form, will hold the key for Scotland. He'll be keen to start a new season with a big knock.

SCO vs ZIM Dream11 Team Prediction, Captain, Vice Captain

  • Wicket-keeper

    We'd strick to Regis Chakabva as the wicket keeper. He was disappointing on Ireland tour but was in decent form before that. Hopefully he can get some momentum early in the series against Scotland.

  • Batsmen

    Kyle Coetzer, Craig Ervine, George Munsey will comprise a formidable batting. Ervine has three fifties in last three games while Munsey is the leading run scorer for Scotland in last two years. Coetzer is also a brilliant batter.

  • All-rounders

    Sean Williams, Ryan Burl and Westley Madhvere will give Zimbabwe good spin bowling options while Richie Barrington can chip in few wickets with new ball and give Ireland good start.

  • Bowlers

    Alasdair Evans, Mark Watt and Luke Jongwe will finish our team. All are pretty decent options with the ball and can wickets in bunches. 

  • Captain/Vice-captain

    Craig Ervine will be our skipper while Ryan Burl can be backed as his deputy.

SCO vs ZIM Dream11 Team Prediction

  • Batsmen:Kyle Coetzer, Craig Ervine (c), George Munsey

  • All Rounder:Sean Williams, Ryan Burl (vc), Westley Madhvere, Richie Barrington

  • Wicket Keeper:Regis Chakabva

ZIM Team News

Brendan Taylor has an announced his retirement and won't be part of the series.

ZIM Key Players

  • Craig Ervine - After a slow start to the Ireland series, Ervine picked up form and scored back to back half centuries in the final T20I and first and third ODI. He can be backed to carry on his form on the Scotland tour as well.
  • Westley Madhvere - He is the highest run scorer for Zimbabwe in T20Is with over 400 runs at an average of 26. While he hasn't been in the best of form, the visitors will expect some fireworks in the series. 
  • Luke Jongwe - Jongwe has been Zimbabwe's best bowler in T20Is since he made his debut. His ability to extract pace and bounce will trouble the Scotland batters.

ZIM Team Form

Zimbabwe lost their last T20I series against Ireland but played good cricket in the series

Zimbabwe Predicted Playing 11

Wesley Madhevere, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Regis Chakabva (wk), Dion Myers, Craig Ervine (c), Milton Shumba, Luke Jongwe, Donald Tiripano, Wellington Masakadza, Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngarava
