 "CWC Qualifier 2023, Scotland Cricket")
After a magnificent Monday, where Netherlands wheat West Indies in the super over in a game where more than 780 runs were scored and Zimbabwe thumped USA by 304 runs, Tuesday at the Cricket World Cup Qualifier is hoped to be thrilling as well. In two group B games, Sri Lanka and Scotland would be up against each other at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo while Ireland will take on UAE at the Bulawayo Athletic Club.
On the last day of the group stage in the CWC Qualifier, Sri Lanka and Scotland, two of the unbeaten teams in Group B will be up against each other. It would decide the winner of the group who will also take along with them four points to the super six. The runners-up will have only two points in their kitty for the super six.
Wanindu Hasarnag will be chasing history as he would look to take yet another five-wicket haul and become the first player to take four consecutive five-wicket hauls in ODIs. On the other hand, Scots will be aiming to continue their fine form with the bat. They would also draw inspiration from the Netherlands win over the West Indies to try and topple the Asian giants.

Sri Lanka vs Scotland CWC Qualifier, Pitch Report
Queens Sports Club is now all worn and tired. As a result, it is helping spinners turn the ball given that they possess the right set of skills. The faster bowlers would always find something in it early on with some swing from the early breeze and dew on the pitch.
What about the second game?
In the second game of the day, which will take place simultaneously with the first one, but at another venue in the same town, Ireland will be up against the United Arab Emirates. The two sides have been unable to taste victory so far in the competition. Apart from West Indies’ shock losses against Zimbabwe and Netherlands, Ireland, a permanent member of ICC losing to Scotland and Oman is equally shocking.
Andy Balbirnie’s Ireland would therefore look to at least finish well by beating UAE. This match would be irrelevant given that none of the two teams would reach the super six and their dreams of making it to the ODI World Cup 2023 are over as well.
