Scotland vs Sri Lanka: 5 things to look forward to

Sri Lanka will be playing Scotland in their final World Cup encounter tommorrow. Though, the match is supposed to be a dead rubber, Sri Lanka will have some serious issues to sort out in tommorrow’s game. Dinesh Chandimal, the Sri Lankan middle order bastman has been ruled out due to an injury and the opening batsman Kusal Perera has been called in. It is generally felt that Sri Lanka are playing a batsman too many and the team would want to consolidate their combination before the knockout stages.Scotland, on the other hand, have lost all their matches and lie bottom of the table. However, they did perform admirably against Afghanistan and Bangladesh so they might pose problems to the island nation if the 1996 World Cup winners are too casual in their approach.Here are the five things to look forward to from this match:

#1 Scotland\'s chance to make history

Scotland have been playing in World Cups since 1999, but are yet to win a match at the tournament. Afghanistan, who are playing their first World Cup, have already managed a win. Hence, Scotland are left with two games to create history – against Sri Lanka and Australia.

Despite losing their best chance of breaking the golden duck against Afghanistan and even Bangladesh, against who they scored 318, but failed to defend, they are expected go all guns blazing to do something unprecedented.
