Scotland vs New Zealand 1st ODI Match Preview, Probable XI, Match Prediction, Pitch Report & More
Scotland and New Zealand will confront each other in the oddball ODI on July 31 at Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh. This is the last round of New Zealand's Scotland visit that has been incredibly fruitful for the Kiwis.
The guests have done well in the two T20Is played on the visit. They posted in excess of 200 runs batting first in both the matches, enrolling wins by 68 runs and 102 runs, separately. Both the groups have named a comparative crew to T20Is for this oddball ODI. The game offers a magnificent chance for Scotland to check themselves against one of the top ful part countries.
Scotland participated in the World Cup qualifiers recently and are in respectable structure, all things considered. They have dominated three matches in last five trips and will be enthused about finishing the visit on a high. Scotland couldn't want anything more than to essentially set up a battle after two profoundly uneven games in T20I series.
New Zealand, then again, are on an European visit and will be really glad that their periphery players have pulled up above and beyond the last not many matches. They were moved as far as possible by Ireland in the last three-match ODI series yet everytime, the Kiwis returned well to ultimately win the challenge 3-0.
A couple of players from that series are absent right now yet New Zealand are out and out top picks to secure this game too.
Pitch Report
The surface at this scene has been phenomenal to bat on assuming the T20I series is concerned. Nonetheless, it is not yet clear assuming a similar pitch will be utilized for the ODI series. Assuming that is the situation, batting first will be better for the group winning the throw as the surface may be on the more slow side.
