Scotland vs West Indies Match Prediction: Scotland will go up against West Indies in the 3rd match of the ICC World Cup Qualifiers Super Six on July 1st, 2023, at Harare Sports Club, Zimbabwe.
Scotland had a mix of ICC World Cup Qualifiers, but they were able to qualify for the super six, and now they will go up against West Indies, which is going to be quite tough for them to get a win against the top side like West Indies but they can give a tough fight and might take inspiration from the Netherlands who won against West Indies after leveling the huge total and winning it in the super over.
Richie Berrington’s side is one of the weakest teams in the super six, but if they want to have any chance to finish in the top 2 spots, then they have to give all in every match. They lost their last match against Sri Lanka by 82 runs, in which they bowled quite well against a team like Sri Lanka, but then their batting lineup collapsed.
Chris Greaves and Mark Watt performed quite well against the Sri Lankan side as they took 7 wickets together. Chris Greaves also scored 56 runs, making him the only batter to score 50+ runs. It will be hard for the Scotland bowlers to stop batters like Hope and Pooran.
West Indies had an awful last two matches in which they lost both of them, but the last match they lost against the Netherlands in the Super Over was not good after posting a huge total of 374. They have been the kind of team who don’t know their own next move because, at one time, they can beat Star 11, and on the other day, they lose to a lower-rank team.
Pooran has been amazing in the tournament, and in the last match, he scored one more century in just 65 balls which took the team to post a huge total of 347, and other batters also supported him in reaching that total. For the first time in the tournament, the West Indies opening pair passed through 25+ runs because, in past matches, the openers of West Indies were not performing at all, which made the team suffer.
West Indies will be the favorite to win their next match, but it is not going to be a very easy win if they are going to take it lightly, which they do against many teams.
Scotland vs West Indies: Head-to-Head ODI Record
Scotland and West Indies played 3 ODI matches against each other, in which West Indies won all of them by huge margins. That is one of the reasons why West Indies will be the favorite to win the next match against Scotland.
West Indies also have better all-over teams and players than Scotland, who had trouble in their last few matches. They last played in the 2018 ICC World Cup Qualifiers, in which West Indies won by 5 runs under (D/L method).

Team Preview of Scotland
Scotland will need to get itself together as a team and be more confident in the skill and hard work they did for last past years to reach this stage. It is time for them to show all their hard work and try to win the match against the giants like West Indies because somewhere, they are also not very confident after losing two in two matches.
The big names of Scotland, like Matthew Cross, Brandon McMullen, Richie Berrington, Chris Greaves, Michael Leask, and Mark Watt, are the player who needs to perform quite well for the team if Scotland wants any chance to win against West Indies.
Important Players of Scotland in the match against West Indies
1- Michael Leask needs to give his 100% in the next match, and he has the ability to do that as he did in the past. He scored 298 runs in the last 10 matches with an average of 49.66 and also with a strike rate of 117.32.
2- Brandon McMullen is one of the talents who showed his skill in the tournament with both his bowling and batting skills, but once again, he has to step up. He also scored a century in 4 matches and took 5 wickets against Ireland.
3- Mark Watt is one of the skilled players of Scotland who keeps taking wickets in every match. He also scored a few 40s runs to support the lower down and comfort them. He took 4 wickets and scored 125+ runs.
Team Preview of West Indies
West Indies captain Shai Hope was disappointed about his team bowlers’ performance in the match against the Netherlands because they put up 375 runs and then lost. It clearly shows why he was disappointed.
Shai Hope needs to captain his team in a better way because losing against the Netherlands after putting that total in clearly shows that Hope’s decision-making is not quite well.
Important Players of West Indies in the match against Scotland
1- Shai Hope needs to step up in the next match against the Scotland team, but not just with the bat with captaincy too. He is the 3rd highest run scorer now in the tournament, as he scored 263 runs in 4 matches with an average of 65.75.
2- Nicholas Pooran scored back-to-back centuries in the last match, but it went in vain still. He needs to perform better for the team and try to score another century against Scotland because they don’t have quite a strong bowling lineup.
3- Alzarri Joseph is another main bowler for the team who can perform well for the team as he picked up 15 wickets in 7 matches and can score runs in the down order.
