The 17th match of the Super 12 of the T20 World Cup 2021 between Afghanistan and Scotland will be played today at 7:30 pm at Sarjah Cricket Stadium.
Afghanistan showed their strength in 2 practice matches. In
the first match, the team had to face defeat against South Africa, but then it
defeated the two-time winning team West Indies. Afghanistan will be hoping for
a good start from openers Hazratullah Zazai and Mohammad Shahzad while the
responsibility of getting quick runs in the middle order will be on the
shoulders of Najibullah Zadran and captain Nabi.

in the first round, Scotland defeated a team like Bangladesh. Scotland entered
the Super 12s while on top with 3 wins. The new-ball pair of Bradley Wheel and

dominant in the middle overs.
