Richard Berrington would have to lead from the front in order to help Scotland reach the Super 12. He scoreda steady 37(27) but would have like to convert that to a big one. Berrington will surely get some confidence with that knock.
Mark Watt is a seasoned left arm orthodox bowler for the Scotts and he can always prove to be lethal. He played a crucial role in that win against the Windies as he grabbed three important scalps. Moreover, he was the pick of the bowlers against Ireland.

If Zimbabwe pose any kind of a threat to the opposition he will have to play a big role in guiding the team towards victory. He has been brilliant so far in this tournament. He has scored 96 runs in two matches with a strike rate of 172.91 and has bagged four wickets.
Sean Williams has the ability to play the anchor role for his team and can hold one end of the crease to secure victories for his side. He is a chinaman bowler and can be troublesome for left handed batters Windies have quite a few lefties in their lineup.
