PAK vs SCO Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Updates For Match 41 of T20 World Cup 2021

Preview:

In a dead rubber game, Pakistan will take on Scotland in the penultimate Super 12 match of the T20 World Cup 2021 on Sunday. Pakistan know the UAE conditions better than any other team in this World Cup and have made the most of it. They are the first team from Group 2 to have secured a place in the semi-finals. The green shirts defeated India and New Zealand in their first two matches, which essentially was enough to confirm their berth.

Scotland, on the other hand, have lost all of their 4 matches in the Super 12 stage and currently sit at bottom of the Group 2 table, with no points in their account. They were pretty ordinary with the bat against India and paid a hefty price for that, as they lost the match by 8 wickets with 81 balls to spare.
