SCT vs OMA Team Previews
Scotland
Scotland is looking great mostly due to Berrington (137 runs) and Leask (132), who have dominated in the batting so far. Berrington scored only 10 runs in the first game versus Ireland, but really came to life in the second against Ireland when he finished with 127 runs from 136 deliveries. There’s little need to rely on anyone else, although Watt will be useful at some point (91 runs).
McMullen (6/64) and Sharif (4/78) have been the most reliable bowlers so far for Scotland, and the team may not have won against Ireland if it wasn’t for McMullen’s epic 5/34. Watt was regarded as a big part of Scotland’s bowling attack, although he’s done fine so far with 2/74.
Scotland Playing 11
Matthew Cross, Christopher McBride, Brandon McMullen, Richie Berrington, Tom Mackintosh, Michael Leask, Chris Greaves, Mark Watt, Safyaan Sharif, Chris Sole, Adrian Neill.
Oman
It was no surprise to see Oman lose to Sri Lanka, but we expected them to take care of opponents like Ireland and U.A.E.
The batting hasn’t been outstanding lately, especially in the first game where they scored only 98 runs. However, things picked up a little bit, with three players scoring half-centuries against U.A.E and another three half-centuries versus Ireland. Ilyas has been the most reliable batsman with 111, but Ayaan Khan (103) is also one to watch.
Like the batting, the first game was an abysmal bowling effort, as zero wickets were taken and Sri Lanka cruised to victory with 100 runs in the second innings. Jay Odedra has impressed us the most with 4/80, especially after his 3/31 against U.A.E, but we’re interested to see more from Khan and Butt, as they both have four wickets but allowing far too many runs.
Oman Playing 11
Kashyap Prajapati, Jatinder Singh, Aqib Ilyas, Zeeshan Maqsood, Mohammad Nadeem, Shoaib Khan, Ayaan Khan, Mohammed Naseem Khushi, Jay Odedra, Fayyaz Butt, Bilal Khan.

Bonus Cricket Bets
Although he's more known as a bowler, Watt has been batting really well in the Qualifiers so far. He usually averages 19.25 in ODI games, but he's already totalled 91 runs in this tournaments. With two games of 44 & 47, it's totally possible that he'll build on these games and have a better game. The odds are brilliant and there's a chance for a huge money return on this bet.
He's already had two half-centuries in the tournament and has totalled 111 runs so far. He looks ready to contribute more, and is a reliable scorer for his team. He's averaged 54.29 runs in 19 ODI innings, and the odds are quite generous for this bet.
Bilal Khan and Butt are great but their odds aren't as exciting. Jay Odedra has really good odds and he's leading the team in bowling so far with 4/80. He took 3/31 against U.A.E and there's a strong chance that he can continue to take wickets and use his spin to take 2-3 wickets.
