SCO vs ZIM Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Update for 2nd T20I

Preview:

Scotland will go head-to-head against Zimbabwe in the 2^nd of the 3-match T20I series on Friday. Scotland defended 141 runs in the 1^st T20I and won the match by 7 runs to go 1-0 up in the series. Richie Berrington and Safyaan Sharif’s incredible stuff with bat and ball respectively won the game for the hosts.

Zimbabwe on the other hand messed up in the run-chase in the 1^st T20I as they couldn’t be able to chase 141 which seems to be modest in the shortest format of the game. Milton Shumba’s unbeaten 45* runs weren’t sufficient for them. They must win this match to stay alive in the series.
