Pitch Report
Although a good batting track is expected in Glasgow, the batters will have to be wary early on. The new ball should swing around, keeping the batters on their toes. As the match progresses, the conditions should ease out and allow the batters to play their shots more freely. There could be some extra bounce available for the spinners, who will be key in the middle overs. Batting first will be the preferred option, with anything over 240 being a decent total at the venue.

Wicketkeeper
Matt Cross: Matt Cross is a talented batter who has a decent ODI record to his name. Although he has been utilized in various positions in the batting unit, Cross' best performances have come at the top of the order. Given his recent form and ability to score big runs, Cross should be one to watch out for in this game.
Batter
George Munsey: George Munsey is one of the most destructive batters on the Associate cricket circuit. The southpaw, who has played in the English One-Day Cup in the past, has a terrific record in white-ball cricket and is a decent player of both pace and spin. With Munsey getting some runs in the previous game as well, he is a good addition to your SCO vs NEP Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounders
KC Karan: KC Karan has been in sensational form over the last month or so, picking up wickets for fun. Karan can also hold his own with the bat in the lower-middle order. Given the form that he is in on the bowling front, KC Karan should find a place in your SCO vs NEP Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowlers
Sandeep Lamichhane: Sandeep Lamichhane is one of the best leg-spinners in this format, with his record speaking for itself. The leggie picked up four wickets against Namibia in his previous ODI, using his variations to good effect. With the conditions also playing into his hands, Lamichhane could be amongst the wickets against Scotland as well.
