United Arab Emirates will lock horns with Scotland in the 12th match of the CWC League 2 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on March 9. UAE have played three, and they have lost all three so far, languishing at the bottom of the table, while Scotland has won just one of their three games, being placed fourth in the table.

UAE played against Canada in their last match, where UAE won the toss and elected to bowl. Canada started cautiously with the bat having decent partnerships. The highlight of the innings was the sensational century by Harsh Thaker, who smacked 111 and remained unbeaten. He took the total to 241. UAE had a much better start to the chase in comparison to their opponents. The top order scored well, but when the responsibility fell on the middle order, they folded pretty soon, and by the end of the game, they fell short of the target by eight runs.

Scotland squared off against Canada in their last encounter where Canada won the toss and elected to bowl. Scotland started well, with the opening stand lasting for 60 runs in just 12 overs. They had a good third-wicket partnership as well, but it was a game of dominos once the third wicket was gone. They lost wickets in a flurry and were all-out for just 197. It was not an easy chase for Canada as they started poorly. At one point in time, they were tottering at 34 for 4, but a fourth-wicket partnership worth 109 runs meant the chase was well set for them as they won by five wickets.

(will be added when there is an update)

The track at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is quite helpful to bowlers in nature. Good movement off the pitch is expected for the seamers as they may dominate the proceedings. Teams prefer to chase the total after winning the toss, with the average first innings score being 196.
