20-20 World Cup: India vs Scotland – Preview, Playing XI, Live Streaming Details and updates

India will be up against Scotland in match 37 of the 20-20 World Cup. After two back-to-back losses against Pakistan and New Zealand, the Virat Kohli-led team finally got off the mark by beating Afghanistan by 66 runs. A win by a big margin is what India were looking for and they managed to achieve it.

The big guns such as Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and Mohammed Shami rose to the task. The bowling that looked incisive in two losses finally came to the party. The team will be eyeing a big win against Scotland as well. But that alone will not solve the purpose, as they would need other results to go in the favour. 

Scotland are out of the rat race. The team has failed to show the form, which they showed in the Qualifiers. The only positive for the Scotland side is the fight and determination that they showed against New Zealand. If the 16-run loss is anything to go by, then the team won’t easily surrender against India. 

Pitch Conditions
