Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

UAE colts got off to a good start to their campaign in ICC Under-19 World Cup by winning their opening game against Canada colts. But, they suffered two back to back defeats that ruled them out from the race of quarterfinals. Now, they have a big opportunity to outclass out-of-form Scotland in the upcoming game. For them, Jonathan Figy has done impressive job with the bat.

He is the leading run-scorer for his side in the ongoing tournament. The left-handed batsman has muscled 138 runs in his three outings with one brilliant ton. He will have to bolster some good runs that will help his team in winning the upcoming clash. Meanwhile, their bowling line-up looks quite stable that will look to continue with the same.

Scotland is still due to taste their first win in the mega-event. They have failed in leaving their mark in the ongoing tournament. They certainly have to lift the level of their game if they want to win the match against UAE. Their players have flopped in giving up to the mark performances in the ongoing tournament.
