Scotland have played some good cricket in both of their matches in this T20 World Cup so far. They started with an excellent victory against West Indies in their opening match of the campaign. The batters played responsibly to get the team to a competitive total and then the bowlers responded well to defend the score of 160. Left-arm spinner Mark Watt bowled brilliantly in that game as he claimed three wickets for just 12 runs in his four overs. The Scotland batting unit faired even better in the match against Ireland and they were ahead for a major portion of the match until the Scotland bowlers were taken down by some brilliant T20 batting by Curtis Campher.

Richie Berrington and his men did most things right in that match against Ireland but there isn't much bowlers can do when someone bats the way Campher did. However, the team has looked in high spirits and confidence so far, and they will be eager to carry that forward into this highly important match against Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe, on the other hand, started off well as they registered a 31-run win against Ireland in their opening encounter of the tournament but they succumbed to a defeat by the same margin to West Indies in the following game. The inference that can be drawn from these two matches is their batting unit's over dependence on Sikandar Raza. Zimbabwe got to a strong total of over 170 riding on Raza's excellent knock of 82 in the first match, but they got bundled out for 122 in the very next match when Raza failed to deliver with the bat. The bowlers have done a good job comparatively. They restricted Ireland to 143 in the first match and West Indies to 153 in the second. Zimbabwe have the ammunition to keep the batters quiet in all phases of the innings and that is a big advantage for them. Now, the batters need to step up and give their bowlers and Raza the support they require.
