Zimbabwe vs Scotland Predictions

Zimbabwe need a win in their last match in the Super Sixes to see them through to the final and qualification for the World Cup. If they lose then Scotland will take pole position… with Zimbabwe hoping Scotland lose their last match to take qualification down to net run rate.

Zimbabwe’s Sean Williams (588 runs) tops the CWC Qualifiers runs list.
Zimbabwe’s Craig Ervine has scored 121*, 50 & 47 in his last 5 innings.
Scotland’s Richie Berrington has scored 127 & 60 in his last 3 completed innings.
Scotland’s Michael Leask has 91* & 41 in his last 4 innings.

Head-to-Head

The two sides have met three times in one-day internationals, Scotland winning the first encounter, Zimbabwe the second, while the third match ended in a tie.

Zimbabwe Form

Zimbabwe lost their first match of the tournament when they were crushed by Sri Lanka by nine wickets.

Sri Lanka’s bowling strength made all the difference as they bowled out high-flying Zimbabwe for 165 runs in 32.2 overs. Maheesh Theekshana (4/25) proved almost unplayable, going for just three runs an over.

Pathum Nissanka scored an undefeated 101 off 102 balls as Sri Lanka waltzed home in the 34th over with nine wickets in hand.

Zimbabwe Team News

Zimbabwe have a fully fit squad to choose from for this match.

Scotland Form

After losing just once in the group stages, Scotland made it four wins from five when they beat the West Indies by seven wickets.

Scotland bowled the West Indies out for 181 off just 43.5 overs, with Brandon McMullen (3/32) knocking over the West Indies’ top three batters.

Scotland picked off the runs from 43.3 overs for the loss of just three wickets. Matthew Cross (74*) and McMullen (69) putting on 125 for the second wicket to setup the win.

Scotland Team News

Scotland are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes for this match.

Verdict

Zimbabwe v Scotland

I am backing Zimbabwe to win. I am also backing Sean Williams to top score for Zimbabwe.

Richie Berrington is a good bet to top score for Scotland.
