West Indies vs. Scotland: The West Indies and Scotland will face off in the third Group Stage match of the ongoing 2022 T20 World Cup today. The match will be played at Tasmania’s Blundstone Arena and it will start at 9:30 AM IST.
As we know by now, the West Indies have been unable to qualify directly for the Super 12 and they will have to fight for a spot in the Super 12 by excelling in the Group Stage. They have been placed in Group B alongside Scotland, Ireland, and Zimbabwe, and it should be an easy qualification for them.
As far as Scotland is confirmed, although they have always been known as a decent cricketing side, they probably do not have what it takes to beat the mighty Windies. However, we can never predict what will happen in a World Cup match and only time will tell.
Let us now take a look at the important details of today’s match between the West Indies and Scotland.
