The Grange Club

Scotland and Austria lock horns in Match 16 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup European Qualifiers 2024 on Thursday, July 27 at the Grange Cricket Club, Edinburgh. The match is scheduled to start at 3:00 PM IST.

Scotland vs Denmark Chance of Winning

Scotland continue their dominance in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup European regional qualifiers 2024, registering another dominating win. In their previous game, Scotland outplayed Austria, winning by a huge margin of 166 runs. Batting first, Scotland launched an all-out attack with the bat, smashing 232 for 2 in 20 overs. George Munsey's magical hundred (132 off 61 balls) and Richie Berrington's quickfire cameo (40 off 19 balls) were the highlights of the Scottish innings. The Scottish bowlers then backed up their batting unit with a phenomenal bowling effort, bundling out Austria for 66 runs in 16.3 overs.

Safyan Sharif, Gavin Main, and Chris Greaves each picked up two wickets, while Michael Leask claimed 3 for 11. With the win over Austria, Scotland edged past Ireland on net run rate and moved to the top spot in the points table.

Denmark, on the other hand, is coming off a 26-run loss against Italy. After bowling Italy to 65/3 at the halfway mark, the Danish bowlers failed to keep up their good work in the last 10 overs, conceding 85 runs. Italy finished at 150/8 in 20 overs, with Saif Ahmad and Surya Anand taking 2/19 and 2/28, respectively. In reply, Denmark was on the backfoot after losing early wickets in the powerplay. However, captain Taranjit Bharaj (51 runs) and Shangeev Thanikaithasan (29 runs) stitched together a 79-run partnership for the fourth wicket. Denmark was right in the chase before Italian captain Gareth Berg struck back with three wickets, bowling Denmark out for 124 runs in 19.3 overs. With two matches remaining, Denmark has a slim chance of making it to the top three.

Scotland vs Denmark Betting Tips

George Munsey, Scotland's top-order batter, has been in prolific form in the qualifiers tournament. The 30-year-old left-hander has scored 132 runs off 61 balls against Austria, and has amassed a total of 206 runs in four matches. Considering his recent form, Munsey is one of the safest bets to score over 25 runs in the match against Italy.

Ollie Hairs has also been in phenomenal form in the qualifiers tournament, smashing 226 runs in four matches, including one century and a half-century. He is the leading run-scorer in the competition. We believe Hairs to continue his good run of form and score over 30 runs against Denmark.

Scotland vs Denmark Toss Prediction

The surface at Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh is a balanced one that offers assistance for both batters and bowlers. The surface is hard and fast, with a little bit of grass cover offering swing with the new ball and as the game progresses spinners and bowlers bowling cutters, slower balls have been effective. In the last seven T20I matches played at this venue, the team batting first won five matches, while the team bowling first won two matches. The average first innings score is 170 runs, and the average winning score was 161 runs. Based on these recent records, the team winning the toss is likely to bat first.
