Scotland has done very well in the first round of the T20 World Cup 2021. This ICC partner country has won all the matches from Bangladesh group.
The team lost to Bangladesh by bowling brilliantly in the first match. Scotland reached the second round of any ICC World Cup for the first time as champions from Group B. As a result, Scotland has set foot in the Super Twelve full of confidence.
Such a performance has boosted the confidence of Scotland. Scotland left-arm spinner Mark Watt has announced that he will not give up any team in the Super Twelve after losing to Oman by a huge margin of 7 wickets. The spinner is not afraid of batsmen like Kohli and Babur.
Scotland stopped Oman by 122 runs in the first innings. Chasing only 2 wickets, the team reached the target with 3 overs in hand.
Confidence fell from Mark Watt’s voice as he spoke of his team’s potential, ‘I think we’re going to give birth to a few mishaps and I don’t see any reason not to. We have done this before. We lost to the best ODI team in the world (England, 2016, Edinburgh). We lost to Bangladesh a few days ago. I think we as a team have been in rhythm for a long time. ‘
“Yes, I know the big teams are not taking us lightly and they should be concerned about us,” he warned the big teams in the Super Twelve. We have been playing consistently for a long time and we are all looking forward to move forward.
Watt throws a kind of challenge to his team like Virat Kohli’s India or Babar Azam’s Pakistan, ‘We play the game to play against big stars (Virat Kohli, Babar Azam or Ken Williamson), don’t we? You will want to challenge yourself by playing against the best players of the best and undoubtedly they are the best players in the world. Everyone on our team is ready to play against the big teams. Everyone wants to play in the World Cup to challenge the best teams on the world stage.
There will not be much strategic change in their team in Super Twelve, he said. “I don’t think we have to do anything differently,” said the spinner, adding that his team’s strategy in the group stage during the game against the big teams was the same. We have won all three matches in the group stage. We also lost to Bangladesh, the sixth team in the T20 rankings. As a result, we do not feel the need to change our thinking.
