Probable Playing XI
Oman:
Oman shouldn’t be making any changes to side unless they decide to rotate their side for this game. Jatinder Singh and Aqib Ilyas have been the shining lights with consistent performances in the batting unit in spite of Khawar Ali and Zeeshan Maqsood’s lack of form. Their depth in batting bodes well with Naseem Khushi providing the impetus against Hong Kong. Bilal Khan and Fayyaz Butt are key in the bowling department with Aamir Kaleem also being one to watch out for.
Khawar Ali, Jatinder Singh, Aqib Ilyas, Zeeshan Maqsood, Suraj Kumar, Mehran Khan, Naseem Khushi, Bilal Khan, Aamir Kaleem, Mohammad Nadeem and Fayyaz Butt
Scotland:
With a couple of injury concerns, Scotland should field the same side with the form of Richie Berrington and Calum MacLeod being key to their fortunes. Their bowling unit has been their stronger suit with the trio of Ally Evans, Josh Davey and Safyaan Sharif. George Munsey finally struck some form against Hong Kong and will be expected to back that performance with another good knock on Friday.
George Munsey, Kyle Coetzer, Calum McLeod, Richie Berrington, Matthew Cross, Michael Leask, Mark Watt, Tom Sole, Alasdair Evans, Josh Daley, Safyaan Sharif
Top Picks:
The must-have players for this game is the duo of Kyle Coetzer and Jatinder Singh, who has scored runs consistently at the top of the order. Along with them, Khawar Ali, who has eleven wickets to his name, is also a worth-while option who doubles up as a batsman as well. The likes of Richie Berrington, Mark Watt and Bilal Khan are also viable candidates for a Dream11 contest while Josh Davey is one to watch out for with the new ball.
