Having already qualified for the Super Six stage, both Sri Lanka and Scotland will be aiming to maintain their winning streak when they come face-to-face today in the World Cup Qualifier. The qualifying game between an unbeaten Sri Lankan side and a high-flying Scotland cricket team is scheduled to be played at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. In their last match, Sri Lanka clinched a thumping 133-run win against Ireland to reach the Super Six stage. Sri Lanka’s resounding victory also ensured Scotland and Oman’s qualification for the next round. With six points from three games, Sri Lanka now occupy the top spot in Group B standings.
Scotland, on the other hand, also have six points but they are placed in second position due to an inferior Net Run Rate (NRR). Scotland will head into today’s game after defeating Oman in their last game by 76 runs. Brandon McMullen scored a magnificent century in that fixture to earn a much-needed victory for the Scottish side. Sri Lanka and Scotland last faced each other in May 2019 and the Asian side emerged victorious in that contest by 35 runs. In their last four meetings, Scotland have not been able to register a win against Sri Lanka.
