Preview:
Group B is heating up as all 4 teams are in contention for the Super 12 stages. Scotland will face Zimbabwe in the final match of round one on Friday. Scotland who put up a stunning show in the win over West Indies went clueless against Ireland and lost the match by 6 wickets. Their bowlers were all over the place and leaked runs quite easily. Coming to the positive side, Michael Jones who is playing his only 3rd T20I scored a well-made 86 runs. Barring Brad Wheal all bowlers were quite expensive which eventually cost the game. They are likely to make subtle changes for this do-or-die clash.
Zimbabwe, on the other hand, were outplayed by West Indies in their last outing by 31 runs. They did all the hard work to restrict West Indies for 153 runs however batters struggled to get going as a result they bundled out for just 122 runs. Sikandar Raza who was the match-winner against Ireland bowled splendidly, picking up 3 wickets but was short of runs with the bat. Craig Ervine who missed the last game due asthma attack is likely to be available for this match. Both sides have seen ups and downs already in this tournament and must give their best in order to stay alive.

Top Pick – Wicketkeeper
Matthew Cross played sensibly for his 28 runs in the last game against Ireland. He is the first-choice wicketkeeper for your fantasy teams.
