Scotland will lock horns with Germany in Match 3 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup European Qualifiers 2024 on Thursday, July 20 at Goldenacre, Edinburgh. The match is scheduled to start at 8:00 PM IST.

Scotland vs Germany Chance of Winning

Scotland play hosts to five other nations for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Europe regional qualifiers. After a disappointing end to their ODI World Cup qualifiers campaign, Scotland now shift their focus to T20 World Cup 2024 regional qualifiers. Scotland has a strong batting lineup mixed with experience and youth and their bowling lineup has been lethal since the start of 2023. Scotland will back themselves to come on top in the tournament.

Germany’s record of late has been impeccable; they won nine of their last ten T20 matches. In their lead up to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Europe region qualifiers they defeated Austria (2-0) in a dominating fashion. Germany have the momentum on their side and will back themselves to defeat the host nation Scotland in their first match of the tournament. The team’s captain Venkat Ganesan and Joshua van Heerden hold the batting unit and Muslim Yar Ahsraf is the bowler to watch out for against Scotland.
