Scotland vs Zimbabwe, 12th Match, Group B, T-20 World Cup 2022, When, Time venue, where, squad
For Scotland this will be the first night game at Hobart and adapting to that will be the first challenge ahead of them. Their batting too came to the party on Wednesday against Ireland, but the bowlers were shot down by some good T20 batting.
In the night game, the emphasis could well turn to their fast bowling attack given that it has come to play in both the night games so far with teams defending a target going on to win.
While Zimbabwe have a slight advantage having won a game already in this fashion with their pacers, the challenge will be to do that once more on Friday in a virtual knockout game.
Additionally, they will be sweating over the batting that hasn’t shored up well with the exception of Sikandar Raza. After taking on all-out attacking approach with the bat, their success has been middling. And there could well be a more measured approach taken on Friday.
“The positive approach is the way we want to play, we’ve had a good two months leading up to the tournament and we’ve had quite a few victories playing that way as a team.
“I do think there’s a big difference between having no consequences and being reckless,” said Sean Williams after the game on Wednesday. That will be a point to ponder over their batting for Zimbabwe even as they sweat over the availability of Craig Ervine, who missed the previous encounter with asthmatic problems.
