Scotland vs Italy Betting Tips
Scotland's top order batter George Munsey has started the qualifiers tournament by scoring useful knocks in both the matches. The 30 year old left hander has scored 62 runs in two matches (29 runs & 33 runs). Munsey could be one of the safest bets in the match against Italy considering his recent form in the past two matches. We believe George Munsey to score over 25 runs in the match against Italy.
Marcus Campopiano scored a match winning cameo (44 runs in 22 balls) in his last outing against Jersey Campopiano has been in good form in the lead-up to the tournament, smashing 329 runs in his last 10 matches at an average of 54.83 and striking at 121.85. The 28-year-old Italian is known for his consistency and has a reputation for performing in big matches. We back him to score over 25 runs against the strong bowling lineup of Scotland.

Richie Berrington to be the top batter for Scotland
Scotland captain Richie Berrington is leading the team from the front with the bat in the qualifiers tournament. Berrington is the leading run scorer in the tournament with 94 runs in two matches. He scored 34 runs in the previous game against Jersey. We believe he will continue his good run of form and produce another match-winning knock in the upcoming game.
Gian Meade to be the top batter for Italy
Gian Meade has scored 286 runs in 23 matches, averaging 17.87 and striking at 102.50. He has been one of Italy's most consistent performers with the bat. In his last outing against Ireland, he scored 26 runs but was unable to kick on and produce a match-winning knock. However, we believe that Meade will come good against Scotland.
Scotland vs Italy Top Bowlers
Mark Watt to be the top bowler for Scotland
Mark Watt has turned out to be one of the strike bowlers in the qualifiers tournament with his left-arm orthodox bowling for Scotland. He has taken six wickets in two matches with an economy of 4.6. Watt finished with match bowling figures of 4/21, helping his team win over Jersey in the previous game. Considering his good run of form, we believe Mark Watt is the top wicket taker for Scotland against Italy.
Harry Manenti to be the top bowler for Italy
Harry Manenti has picked up 12 wickets in six matches at a staggering average of 10.91 with an economy of 5.69. Manenti picked up two wickets in his last outing against Jersey and looked lethal with the new ball. We predict Harry Manenti to be the top bowler for Italy against Scotland.
