Scotland was beaten by Ireland in their most recent match by a big margin of six wickets. They won the toss and decided to bat first. The way how their batting order performed in that match was just outstanding. They put in a total of 176 runs in 20 overs. Michael Jones was the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side scoring 86 runs on 55 balls with the help of six boundaries and four huge sixes. The skipper, Richie Berrington also performed well and scored 37 runs. He faced 27 balls and smashed three boundaries and one huge six during his inning. M Cross scored 28 runs.

Brad Wheal was the only successful bowler from their side who picked one wicket in four overs against 25 runs. Mark Watt, Safyaan Sharif, and Michael Leask picked one wicket each while Josh Davey and Chris Greaves were the bowlers who failed to pick any wicket. The batters of Scotland are doing their job in a proper way and now it is the time for the bowlers to play the main role to win this important match.

Zimbabwe lost their previous match against West Indies by a handsome margin of 31 runs. They lost the toss and were asked to field first. The performance of their bowling unit was good.

The batting order of Zimbabwe totally failed to give the best performance.

Luke Jongwe was the highest run-scorer from their side scoring 29 runs while Wesley Madhevere scored 27 runs. No other batter from their side could put some big runs on the board.

The 12th Match of World Cup T20 2022 is going to be held at Bellerive Oval, Hobart. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 170 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast in Hobart is predicting some clouds around on match day but the weather forecast does not predict rain. We should be able to have a full uninterrupted match.
