ICC World Cup Qualifier 2023, Warm-Up Match 1: West Indies vs Scotland probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, match prediction, live streaming
West Indies and Scotland are set to lock horns in Match No.1 of the ICC ODI World Cup Qualifiers Warm-up on June 13. The Harare Sports Club will host the contest.
West Indies will be captained by Shai Hope, who has a massive task in hand. The Caribbean team was expected to make it through to the World Cup directly, but that was not the case in the end.
A number of their key players who did not take part in the series against the UAE will be making their comeback. Johnson Charles, who broke into the T20 team, will also want to perform in the 50-over format.
Scotland, led by Richie Berrington, also have a strong squad at their disposal. George Munsey, Matthew Cross, and skipper Berrington carry a lot of experience and will be needed to perform.
Chris Greaves and Michael Leask are the specialist all-rounders in the team. Alasdair Evans and Safyaan Sharif are the pace bowling options. Hamza Tahir and Mark Watt are the specialist spinners.
