SCO vs PAK Dream11 Team Prediction For 2nd T20: Preview

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Scotland versus Pakistan 2nd T20I match. We are covering SCO vs PAK Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the second and the last match of the T20I series being played at Edinburgh.

The number one T20I team in the world, Pakistan overpowered the jubilant Scottish nation to register a clinical win by 48 runs. In the chase, Scotland began promisingly but they soon fizzled and Pakistani bowlers did not give them another chance of a comeback.

Winning the toss, Pakistan decided to bat first and they made the most of the helpful conditions. After top order’s failures, Shoaib Malik (53) and Sarfaraz Ahmed (89) got together and propelled Pakistan score above 200. Mohammad Nawaz and Shadab Khan were extremely disciplined with the ball.

Scotland’s bowling was a one-man show with Ali Evans taking 3/23 in his four overs while all other bowlers were taken for runs. The aggressive start from George Munsey and Kyle Coetzer kept Scotland in the game but the score proved to be a bit too much.
