After suffering humiliating defeats against Pakistan and New Zealand, India finally turned up on Wednesday and overwhelmed Afghanistan. A resounding 66-run win after posting the tournament's biggest total (210/2) in Abu Dhabi, UAE sure improved the net run rate, but nothing changes for the 2007 champions. They still need either Namibia or Afghanistan to beat New Zealand, then hope for a net run rate fight.
Scotland are winless in three Super 12 matches so far, and the match presents a real opportunity for the 'Associate players' to rub shoulders with some of the biggest stars in world cricket. But again, this is World Cup! And Kyle Coetzer & Co are known for their grit.
In another crucial Group 2 match, New Zealand face Namibia in Sharjah, starting 3:30 PM IST.
Head-to-head
This will be the second meeting between India and Scotland. Their T20 World Cup 2007 match at Kingsmead, Durban was abandoned due to rain.
