SCO vs PNG Dream11 Today Match Prediction: Group B matches are heading to a whole new level of excitement after Scotland’s thumping victory over the strong Bangladesh side. Now they have a great opportunity at hand to beat the minnows Papua New Guinea and take an unassailable lead in group B to make their chances to qualify for Super 12. PNG on the other hand succumbed to a humiliating defeat against Oman, even after registering a par total on the board. They will also be looking to make changes in the game plans to come good this time against Scotland.
Scotland
Papua New Guinea
Papua New Guinea made a strong comeback in the last match after losing early wickets in the first couple of overs, courtesy of a fine partnership between captain Assad Vala and Charles Amini. But those fighting efforts weren’t enough to stop a rampaging Oman batting unit. More or less the same treatment they can expect from Scotland as well. They are coming off after a huge victory against the Bangladesh side, and that confidence will be more than enough to defeat this PNG side.
This is a no-brainer. Considering the current form, squad composition, and form of the players leading into this match, Scotland starts as hot favourites to win this match. They have all that it takes to defeat this PNG side any day. So expect a Scotland win. Even the prominent betting sites are also predicting the same.
