Match Details:

The 3rd game of the 2019 United Arab Emirates Tri-Nation ODI Series part of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 will be played between the United Arab Emirates and Scotland at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

Preview:

United Arab Emirates will take on Scotland in the 3rd match of the Tri-Nation ODI series at Sharjah, which is hosting its last game of this tournament. In the first two matches played here, the United States of America turned victorious and is extending their lead in the World Cup League 2 table. In the opening match, USA chased down 203 in the 47-over match against the home side. The death bowling of USA helped to seal a 35-run win against Scotland in the 2nd match as the Scotts lost their last five wickets for just nine runs. Aaron Jones was the star for USA scoring fifties in both the matches.


Weather Condition/Report:

The Sharjah Cricket Stadium could receive rain around afternoon on Wednesday. Showers are expected until 1:30 PM and hence a reduced match could be seen.

Pitch Condition/Report:

In three full 50-overs matches, the team batting first crossed the 280-run mark. Two of those were during the Pakistan-Australia series where the Aussies got the chase finished comfortably. On Monday, a total of 282 was enough to win for the USA against Scotland. However, if not for some brilliant execution at the death overs, the Scottish team could have walked away with a win.

Top Picks:

Kyle Coetzer might have failed in the first match but is quite consistent and usually scores a great percentage of Scotland’s runs in any given form of the game.
