SCO vs NEP player battles
George Munsey vs Karan KC
Scotland’s second-highest run-scorer, George Munsey, boasts a strike rate of 155.16 in 82 matches. He looked in good touch against Italy, scoring 84 runs and would like to replicate it against the Nepalese. While he will look to start with a brisk knock in the powerplay, medium pacer and new ball operator Karan KC will have the onus to stop him early in the innings.
Brandon McMullen vs Sandeep Lamichhane
Brandon McMullen is another batter who likes to take on the bowlers and score quick runs if he gets in after playing a few deliveries. Ahead of the tournament, he scored 95 (39) vs Namibia in a practice game and is in good touch. As a lead spinner, Sandeep Lamichhane will have to get rid of the batter quickly and put Nepal in front in the middle overs.
Dipendra Singh Airee vs Mark Watt
Famous for his sixes in an over, Dipendra Singh Airee is arguably the most important batter in the middle order for Nepal. With over 2000 runs in the format, he has a healthy strike rate of 138.33, and his 44(29) was important against England. As a left-arm orthodox bowler and a good match-up, Mark Watt will be given the responsibility of getting the crucial wicket to put Scotland in front.
