Scotland and the Netherlands are set to lock horns in Match No.2 of the T20 World Cup 2022 warm-ups. The fixture is scheduled to take place on Monday (October 10) at Junction Oval in Melbourne.
Scotland will be captained by the experienced Richie Berrington, who has replaced Kyle Coetzer as the skipper of the national team. Earlier this year, Coetzer retired from international cricket after serving his nation for more than a decade.
Last year, Scotland won all their matches in the qualifying stage, but faltered in the Super 12. The likes of George Munsey, Berrington, Josh Davey, Matthew Cross and others are expected to play key roles for them in the mega event.
The Netherlands, led by Scott Edwards will be looking to make a mark in the upcoming tournament. The Dutch team has shown potential of late and can't be underestimated, with the skipper in impressive form.
Last year, the Netherlands lost all three of their matches in the qualifying round. The likes of Max O'Dowd, Tom Cooper and Roelof van der Merwe bring in a lot of experience. They also have some exciting young players in their ranks.
