India vs Scotland Prediction: Team India, after making a comprehensive turnaround against Afghanistan, will have to repeat the same feat two more times in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021 to remain in the semi-final race. India will meet the unfamiliar faces of Scotland on Friday, 5th November in Dubai International Stadium.
India losing two matches straight in any T20 World Cup season is a rare sight, and what’s more into that is India taking on Scotland with a pressure of must-win match on their back. Scotland has been an underperforming side with three losses in three matches. While the Men in Blue hammered Afghanistan to seal a win.
The two sides locking horns against each other today will have two complete opposite scenarios. Scotland, who hasn’t faced India yet in the T20 World Cups, will show up with a sense of pride and will surely come all guns blazing to put a strong fight. On the other side, India, which has been at the pinnacle of each ICC tournament, will face Scotland with just one purpose to win the contest that too with a massive margin to pose a serious threat to New Zealand in the Semi-Final race.

India vs Scotland Pitch Report, Dubai International Stadium:
As we saw in the previous few matches in Dubai, dew is going to play a major role once again, making things quite tricky for the team bowling second. Toss, as always, is a key aspect of the match and the team winning it will straight away opt to bowl first. Utilising powerplay will be crucial for the team batting first. The spinners will begin their attack once there is end to the field restrictions.
