With a 66-run victory over Afghanistan, India kept its semi-final hope alive and eventually opened its points. One of the match’s highlights came when Lokesh Rahul and Rohit Sharma put up a 140-run stand for the first wicket. Later on, the bowlers performed admirably to secure the victory. They need miracles to happen if they are to qualify for the knockouts.
Scotland, on the other hand, has already been eliminated from the tournament after three consecutive losses. They put up a good fight against New Zealand but were 16 runs short of the target. It’s a good chance for them to compete at their highest level against India.
Weather
There were no clouds in the sky, and the temperature dropped from 32 to 28 degrees during the match.
Pitch
In the early stages of the game, the wicket will help the pacer. In the middle overs, scoring runs is challenging. Bowlers will have a hard time gripping the ball. Therefore, bowling first is a good idea.

Scotland demonstrated against New Zealand that they could cause problems for big teams, and they walked away with a lot of credit. However, they will face a rampaging India side in this match and will have difficulty stopping them. Let’s witness India win the competition for the second time in a row with Baji!
