SCO vs WI Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report ODI WC Qualifier 2023 Match 23 | WI vs SCO Dream11 Prediction Today | Harare Pitch Report

West Indies need a miracle. Wins by Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka in the super six stage has meant the Windies are three wins behind both, so they need absolutely everything to go their way from now on.

However, if the men in maroon field the way they have in this tournament, there will be no need for discussions around permutations and scenarios. Scotland have been far superior in this department, restricting the Sri Lankans in their last game thanks to a disciplined bowling and fielding display.

So, the Scots should enter this game with belief. They can move back to within two points of Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka, with a crucial match against the Zimbabweans to come on Tuesday. Remember, they helped knock West Indies out of the T20 World Cup qualifying stage last year, and fell heartbreakingly short by five runs on the D/L method in the 2019 ODI World Cup Qualifier.
