ZIM vs SCO Match Preview
| Match | Zimbabwe 🆚 Scotland |
| Tournament | ICC World Cup Qualifiers |
| Date | 3 July 2023 |
| Time | 12:30 PM IST |
| Venue | Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo |
The match is expected to be a close contest, but Zimbabwe are the slight favorites. They have a more balanced team with a good batting line-up and a strong bowling attack. Sikandar Raza is in good form and is a good captaincy choice. Craig Ervine is another key player who can provide stability in the batting order. Scotland has a good bowling attack but their batting has been inconsistent. Richard Berrington and Ryan Burl are their key all-rounders.
Matthew Cross is a good wicketkeeper-batsman who can give them a good start. The toss will be important in the match. If Zimbabwe wins the toss, they should bat first and put a big score on the board. Scotland will need to bowl well and restrict Zimbabwe to a manageable total if they want to win the match.
