Match Prediction – Who Will Win

Scotland and Italy should play a close match. Although Italy is competing for the initial time, they've got players who have previously represented England and Australia. Scotland, on the other hand, has an excellent mix of experienced and high-caliber players such as Berrington, Munsey, McMullen, and Jones. Italy has not played in Indian conditions, and this could be their first T20 World Cup match under pressure and glamour. So Scotland should win the match. But this will be an exciting match, and Italy is going to give Scotland a difficult time. Considering the team combination, Scotland is expected to win this match.
