SCT vs PNG Match Prediction - Oct 19, 2021

Scotland started the T20 World Cup 2021 in tremendous fashion as it recorded a famous comeback from 58-6 to defeat Bangladesh. That makes their path to the Super-12 almost certain, however, the job is not don't yet.

Standing in their way for this match is Papua New Guinea, who started their match against Oman in a promising fashion, but fell away as their lack of experience shone through.

Can PNG pull off an upset this time around?

SCT vs PNG Team Previews

Scotland

Scotland will be thrilled at the manner in which it regrouped from a tough position, however, it would not be pleased at having been reduced to that position in the first place. A lack of understanding of the conditions from their batsmen put them in a lot of trouble and they will hope to better that.

We think players like George Munsey and Richie Berrington are good options for the Top Batsman Scotland betting market. Not only are they good players of spin but they have been the best performers for Scotland for quite some time now.

We have all heard the brilliant story of Chris Greaves who went from being an Amazon delivery worker to the star of Scotland's victory over Bangladesh. He is a good all-rounder that can strike the ball well and should be in the wickets as well.

You should be able to get some good betting odds for his performances in this match and we recommend you take advantage.

Safyaan Sharif and Bradley Wheal lead a good bowling attack. Mark Watt is the death-over specialist for Scotland and could be a good option for the Top Bowler or To Pick 2+ Wickets betting markets.

Scotland Playing 11

Kyle Coetzer, George Munsey, Matthew Cross, Richie Berrington, Calum MacLeod, Michael Leask, Chris Greaves, Mark Watt, Josh Davey, Alasdair Evans, Bradley Wheal.


Papua New Guinea

PNG is going to need to do a lot better to be able to pull off an upset against Scotland and unfortunately for them, we just don't see that happening. PNG's batting is well-intentioned but it is not the best when it comes to execution.

Tony Ura, Assad Vala, and Charles Amini are not bad players by any means. They can all bat well and have some big shots to unleash but we question their ability to deliver match after match.

The rest of the batting lineup looks very weak and a collapse is never too far away.

PNG's bowling was not able to take a single wicket against Oman and that does not bode well. They have a collection of decent medium pacers and finger spinners that could do better against Scotland than Oman, although that's not saying much!

We would advise staying largely away from betting markets that focus on PNG players.

Papua New Guinea Playing 11

Lega Siaka, Tony Ura, Assad Vala, Charles Amin, Sese Bau, Simon Atai, Norman Vanua, Kiplin Doriga, Chad Soper, Kabua Morea, Nosaina Pokana.

Pitch and Conditions

The conditions in Oman are expected to be decent for batting. The pitch is a bit slow and gets difficult to score in the second half so the team batting first could have a big advantage. Getting a fast start and runs in the powerplay is going to be crucial. A score of around 140 should be seen as par.
