West Indies vs Scotland Prediction: This match could go either way

The West Indies play Scotland for the third time in their histories, hoping to improve their chances of making it into the World Cup. In 2018, West Indies came out on top, but Scotland pulled off a surprise upset in their most recent game back in October. A detailed breakdown of the game is provided below.

West Indies Form

Without a shadow of a doubt, this West Indies team are on a tear heading into this qualifying match, and the Windies will be confident in their ability to focus on improving their play and extending their winning trend. The Windies, on the other hand, will view this encounter as a must-win contest in order to get their revenge after losing to Scotland in their previous meeting while they were heavy favorites. There is no question that this team has the advantage, but they will need to maintain a high level of awareness and come into this match in the best shape possible.

Recent matches that The West Indies participated in included both the One Day International competition and the Twenty20 International event. Of the six games that they played, The West Indies won five of them. In spite of the fact that they were defeated by South Africa with a score of 259–288, the Windies were able to triumph over them with scores of 213-220 and 131–132 in other contests. Despite this, they picked up wins against United Arab Emirates in three consecutive matches where they were the favorites, and all three of those matches went in their favor. Charles will be included on the squad roster.

The West Indies have decided to replace the injured Gudakesh Motie in their 15-man squad for the Cricket World Cup Qualifier with the in-form opener Johnson Charles. Gudakesh Motie was a member of the West Indies XI that won the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in 2016, but he often found himself on the outside after that until he was recalled for the 2022 edition of the showcase event.

Scotland Form

Due to the fact that Scotland are coming into this qualification match with a mixed record, the Scots will be hoping for a miracle. However, in their most recent matchup, this team prevailed over the Windies, which should undoubtedly be a confidence boost and a ray of optimism for them as they go into this match as the underdogs once more.

Recent fixtures saw Scotland pick up three victories, with those victories coming against Nepal and again twice against Namibia in games with respective final scores of 119-121, 153-157, and 178-221. However, because of their poor performance and inconsistent form, they were defeated by Namibia (the score was 210-208) and Nepal (the score was 275-274 and 213-212, respectively) in their respective matches. In spite of this, this team is expected to perform at their highest level, demonstrate perseverance, and have a burning desire to triumph here because doing so will give them an advantage going into their subsequent matches.

The majority of the Scotland cricket team that won the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 in February has been kept together for the tournament. They have made two adjustments to the team that competed in their most recent match in Nepal. Alasdair Evans and Adrian Neill have been brought back into the lineup, taking the place of Liam Naylor and the retired Kyle Coetzer.

Expert Betting Tips

Even though the Windies are the favorites, I do not see them having it easy in this match because it is anticipated to be difficult and because I do not see them having an easy time here. Even though Scotland's performance has been erratic, I still believe that the Scottish Saltires have a chance to win this match. Despite the fact that I believe it will not be easy for them to triumph, I think it is still worthwhile to give them a shot at scoring four runs. There is also the possibility of betting on Scotland to win the toss due to their recent run of good fortune, despite the fact that West Indies are the favorites to emerge victorious.
