AFGH vs SCO Dream11 2nd ODI Match Prediction | Afghanistan vs Scotland

After the first ODI got abandoned due to rain, both Afghanistan and Scotland will be gearing up for the second and final ODI which will be played at the Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh where the first match was also scheduled to take place.

Rain is once again expected to play the spoiler as the temperature suggests it would be 11-degree Celsius with showers pouring down. This means the match can get abandoned and the series will end-up without any result.

Afghanistan who are heading into the World Cup after winning the World Cup qualifiers held last year in Zimbabwe were in pursuit to start their journey under the reigns of a new leader Gulbadin Naib who was going to captain Afghanistan for the first time in this series.
