ZIM vs SCO Dream11: Zimbabwe eye World Cup spot against spirited Scotland
Zimbabwe have so far been phenomenal in the Qualifiers. Batting and bowling have clicked in unison, with Sean Williams, Sikandar Raza, Blessing Muzarabani leading the charge. In the last game against Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe’s batters struggled to post a competitive result. The bowling was also slightly off as they could only pick only one wicket. Nonetheless, the form that the hosts are in, they should be confident of bouncing back.
But up against them will be Scotland, who have shown they are no pushovers. Despite three of their players playing County Cricket, Scotland have found different heroes stepping up to the occasion. Brandon McMullen has been outstanding for the team, leading the charge with bat and ball.
The 23-year-old has amassed 224 runs in five matches and has picked up ten wickets. McMullen’s contribution would be crucial for Scotland keeping their World Cup hopes alive.
