Team India has had a poor start in the ongoing T20 World Cup so far where they have lost two back-to-back games. With these defeats, India’s chances of qualifying for the semi-final looks tough as well. However, fans didn’t lose hope as New Zealand has been taking on Scotland and a win from Scotland will help India only. Meanwhile, Scotland wicket-keeper Matt Cross made headlines with his comments as well.
As far as the qualification scenario is concerned, India needs to win against Afghanistan, Scotland and Namibia with good margins. On the other hand, New Zealand will have to lose to Afghanistan and Scotland as well. However, on Wednesday, during the 8th over of the Black Caps’ innings of the game between Scotland and New Zealand, he was heard saying to the bowler Chris Greaves, “Cmon Greavo, whole of India is behind you here.”

As far as the game is concerned, Scotland has won the toss and chose to field first. Kyle Coetzer said at the Toss: “We are going to bowl. Setting totals has been challenging in this tournament so far. Davey is missing out due to a niggle, Evans comes in. And I come back, and Wallace is out. We expected the challenges to go up, it’s a bit of reality check to be honest. We are not fearing any opposition, but are mindful of the challenges. What a time to be a Scottish cricketer and a fan, these opportunities don’t come easy. So we’ll try to push the boundaries.”

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson said: “We would have bowled as well, looks like a good surface. It’s important to do the job. We are playing with the same team. For us it’s about maintaining the standard like we did against India. There are match winners in every side, so we need to focus against every side. The guys in our side can play a variety of roles, so we are sticking to the same side.”
