West Indies are favorites to win
West Indies and Scotland meet in Pool B of the First Round of the 2022 T20 World Cup on Monday afternoon in Tasmania. West Indies came into last year’s T20 World Cup as defending champions but won only one of their five fixtures. Scotland won Pool B but then lost all five games in the Super 12 Stage. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway at Bellerive Oval, Hobart at 15:00 local time.
West Indies have a completely different team compared to last year’s T20 World Cup and have struggled to find consistency. That said, they should be too strong for Scotland in this match.
Scotland will be delighted to be playing West Indies in their opening game and shows how far they have come that they enter the tournament at the same stage. However, it will be a very tough opening game.
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
With humidity levels expected to rise across the game, we predict that both teams will want to bowl first and chase a target in the second innings.
The Bellerive Oval is renowned for offering assistance to quick bowlers. There will be pace in the wicket and a par score will be around 160.
There will be rain earlier in the day but by mid-afternoon expect to see cloudy skies with a high temperature of 13 degrees.

Nicholas Pooran’s side have no injuries ahead of this game but are without their middle order batter Shimron Hetmyer. He missed the flight to Australia ahead of the IT20 series and was immediately replaced in the squad for T20 World Cup 2022.
West Indies have been very disappointing in this format for a long time. They lost the recent series with Australia 2-0 and have won only one of their last five.

The 2021 T20 World Cup was a rollercoaster for Scotland. They beat Bangladesh in Pool B but were unable to beat the stronger sides in the second stage. However, they have much of the same squad who will have benefited from last year’s experiences.
Scotland have been beaten in their last seven IT20s. Their last victory in this format came against Oman in the 2021 T20 World Cup.
George Munsey, Calum Macleod, Mathew Cross (wk), Richie Berrington (c), Michael Jones, Michael Leask, Chris Greaves, Mark Watt, Josh Davey, Brad Wheal, Hamza Tahir
This is the first time that West Indies and Scotland have met in this format. West Indies have won all three previous meetings in ODIs.
In spite of Scotland’s successful Round 1 performance in the 2021 T20 World Cup, West Indies are very strong favourites ahead of this match.

West Indies’ high profile players with bat and ball appear regularly in global T20 tournaments. Scotland’s players are relatively unknown and do not have the same level of big game experience.
We are backing Johnson Charles, Kyle Mayers and Brandon King with the bat for West Indies. Charles averaged 43.12 across the 2022 CPL.
George Munsey, Matthew Cross and Richie Berrington are our batting tips for Scotland. Cross has scored five half-centuries in IT20s.
Obed McCoy, Alzarri Joseph and Akeal Hosein are our bowling recommendations for West Indies. Hosein has 67 international wickets since making his debut in 2021.
Our picks are Mark Watt, Josh Davey and Brad Wheal with the ball for Scotland. Watt was Scotland’s bowling star in the 2021 tournament with seven wickets.
Scotland caused an upset in the First Round last year when they beat Bangladesh but it would be an even bigger shock if they were to defeat the 2016 T20 World Cup Winners West Indies. We expect a one-sided game with West Indies getting the victory.
