The 1st T20 match of Zimbabwe tour of Scotland, 2021 is scheduled to be held on Wednesday, 15th September 2021 at Grange Cricket Club, Edinburgh

Scotland is going to play an important series of three-match at their home venues against Zimbabwe. Scotland has to prepare for the World Cup as they will face Bangladesh in their very first match of the big event of T20 cricket. This series will also help Scotland to get the best players for the playing eleven for the World Cup matches. Kyle Coetzer is going to lead Scotland in this home series against Zimbabwe. Dylan Budge, Ollie Hairs, and George Munsey are the key batters for Scotland.

Zimbabwe lost the T20 series against Ireland but they performed well as many of us were not expecting. Now they are going to face a young and un-experienced team. Craig Ervine will be leading Zimbabwe in this series. Tinashe Kamunhukamwe, Tarisai Musakanda, Dion Myers, and Milton Shumba will be leading the batting order of Zimbabwe in this tour of Scotland.

Zimbabwe had played a total of 93 T20 matches so far. They won 24 while other teams won 69 matches.

According to today’s Cricket prediction, Zimbabwe is the favorite team to win this match. The reasons why Zimbabwe is a favorite team in this match, are mentioned below:

• Zimbabwe had played a T20 series recently against Ireland
• Scotland is going to play any T20 series after the gap of two years
• The batting order of Zimbabwe is quite good but its bowling remains a big concern
• Scotland has the advantages of home crowd, ground, and conditions
• Scotland is overall a strong team as compared to Zimbabwe

Scotland had not played much T20 cricket but they have good records and they had won 50 percent of matches played. We have no doubt that Scotland is the best team when we compare it with Zimbabwe. They have strong batting order and bowling unit, so the winning chances of Scotland for today’s match have been increased. The equation of winning chances of both teams for today’s match is mentioned as under.

Scotland has a 52% chance to win this match
Zimbabwe has a 48% chance to win this match
