USA vs Scotland Predictions

Both teams have had some impressive performances in recent weeks, but Scotland have the more experienced and settled squad and should be able to overpower the USA.

Scotland’s Brandon McMullen scored back-to-back 50s against Australia.
Scotland’s Michael English scored 107 off 122 balls against Namibia.
USA’s Milind Kumar scored 155* off 110 balls against the UAE.
USA’s Saiteja Mukkamalla has scored 47, 68 & 107 in his last 3 innings.

Head-to-Head

Scotland have won three of the last five matches against the USA.

USA Form

The USA have won their last four matches in a row, the latest being a 136-run mauling of the UAE.

The USA piled up a monster score of 339/4 off their 50 overs, with 339/4 Saiteja Mukkamalla (107) and Milind Kumar (155 off 110 balls) adding 191 for the fourth wicket.

The UAE packed three half-centuries into their innings but could only muster 203 as they were bowled out off 36.2 overs. Nosthush Kenjige (3/36) was the pick of the USA bowlers.

USA Team News

USA are in brilliant form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team, although they will need their best performance if they hope to beat Scotland.

Scotland Form

Scotland have won their last three matches on the bounce, with the most recent win being the 138-run triumph over Namibia.

Scotland racked up 301/6 off their 50 overs as Michael English (107) and Richie Berrington (89) added 170 for the third wicket.

Scotland rolled Namibia for 163 off 40.1 overs, with Brad Currie (3/25, econ 2.77) knocking over half of the top six.

Scotland Team News

There are no injury reports from the Scotland squad and they are looking strong to take the win off the USA.

Verdict

USA v Scotland

I am backing Scotland to win. I am also backing Brandon McMullen to top score for Scotland.

Milind Kumar is a good bet to top score for the USA.
