The 2022 T20 World Cup got underway on Sunday in Australia. The West Indies cricket team will take on Scotland in Match 3 of the tournament’s Qualifiers on Monday, October 17 at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart. Both teams are in Group B and will be keen to qualify for the Super 12 stage.
West Indies landed in Australia earlier this month to play a two-match T20I series against the hosts. However, the result did not go in their favor as they lost the series 2-0. Alzarri Joseph was the lone performer for West Indies in the series, as he took five wickets in two games.
Heading into the World Cup, West Indies defeated UAE by 17 runs in their warm-up match. Their second match got washed out due to rain. Scotland also registered a win in their warm-up match against the Netherlands. They won the match by 18 runs, defending 151 runs in Melbourne. Just like West Indies, their second match too got washed out due to rain. Both teams will be hoping to get off to a winning start in the tournament.
