WI vs SCT Match Prediction - Oct 17, 2022

We have had one massive upset in the T20 World Cup 2022 already as Namibia beat the Asia Cup Champions, Sri Lanka. Now, it is time for two-time World Champions, West Indies, to open their campaign against Scotland. This match is not expected to be an easy one at all for the West Indies.

Scotland is a tough opponent and has been especially impressive in T20 cricket for quite some time now. It had a disappointing T20 World Cup in 2021 but this will be another chance to make some waves.

As expected, West Indies is the overwhelming favorite to win this match at all cricket betting sites.

Match prediction and cricket betting tips for West Indies vs Scotland T20 World Cup 2022. The match will be played at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart on the 17th of October 2022.<br />  

WI vs SCT Team Previews

West Indies

West Indies has lost four out of its previous five T20 internationals and is not in the best of form. However, as we have seen in the past, the team can rise up to the occasion in T20 cricket during world events. The fact that West Indies is playing at the Bellerive Oval could play into its hands. 

This venue favors big hitters and they will hope to overpower Scotland. Nicholas Pooran, Brandon King, and Rovman Powell are the leading batters that will be expected to make the most of the runs. Among the bowlers, Obed McCoy and Akeal Hosein will be key. 

One player that we think is certainly worth watching out for is Kyle Mayers. After an excellent CPL, Mayers has established himself as a real power hitter at the top and is very handy with the ball. West Indies has all the ingredients to win this contest, all it needs to do is to avoid needless mistakes. 

West Indies Playing 11

Nicholas Pooran, Evin Lewis, Brandon King, Rovman Powell, Shamarh Brooks, Jason Holder, Kyle Mayers, Obed McCoy, Alzarri Joseph, Odean Smith, Akeal Hosein.


Scotland

Scotland is in a tough group and has no easy matches. It does know, however, that if it manages to win this match then it has a great chance of going through. The onus of scoring runs will fall on George Munsey and Richie Berrington for the most part. Callum MacLeod is also a pretty decent batter but the rest of the lineup lacks quality. 

Scotland does not compare anywhere close to the West Indies in terms of power and it will have to hope for cameos across the order to have enough runs to be able to put pressure on the West Indies. On paper, the bowling attack for Scotland is not too bad but it does not play high-quality teams as often. 

Safyaan Sharif, Mark Watt, and Brad Wheal are the leading bowlers of this unit.

Pitch and Conditions

The conditions in Hobart are expected to be a bit overcast and there is a small chance of some rain. The pitch at the Bellerive Oval is very good for batting. The ball comes on to the bat nicely and the boundaries are very short. The average run rate here is above 8 but teams can quite easily target something around 180-190. 

A lot of sixes should be in store.
