... Match Day ...

19:02 (IST) Nov 07

Match 41 of the T20 World Cup sees a clash between Pakistan and Scotland. This is sort of a dead rubber as both teams have nothing to lose or gain from the Super 12s anymore. But, it is still a game of cricket and we hope for a good game. On that note, a very warm welcome to the coverage.

Pakistan have already sealed their berth in the semi-finals by winning four matches on the trot. They are looking like a really strong side and are the only team to stay unbeaten so far. Since they have already qualified, it will be interesting to see how they approach this game. It'll be also interesting to see whether they play their first choice set of players or whether they will rest a few key players and test their bench strength. They would look to end the tournament on a high and remain unbeaten in the Super 12s.

As far as Scotland are concerned, they won all their three matches in the first round but have underperformed in the Super 12s. They have lost all their four matches though they looked competitive in a couple of matches. The tournament has been a learning curve for them and will be only playing for pride. In their last match, they were folded for mere 85 runs and they will look to put up a better fight in this match and end the tournament on a winning note. Stay tuned for further updates.

Just an update for everyone. The clash between Afghanistan and New Zealand has ended and the Kiwis have won the clash. That means that Pakistan will be joined by New Zealand as the two semi-finalists from this group. India and Afghanistan are eliminated and the clash between India and Namibia will be a dead rubber.

18:35 (IST) Nov 07

We've got to make sure we go in there with as much confidence as we possibly can do. We've got one last crack of the whip while we're out here. We're not going to play together again until April probably. What better game and what better team to play against than Pakistan. They're at the top of their game at the moment. That's just an ultimate test and to challenge yourself against them.

Scotland skipper Kyle Coetzer has urged his players to give it their best shot in tonight's last Twenty20 World Cup match against Pakistan in Sharjah. The Scots have lost all four Super 12 Group 2 games since defeating Bangladesh in the qualifiers last month.
18:16 (IST) Nov 07

We're really happy and proud as a team. So far we've taken on this challenge and performed up to the expectations and we'll try our best to maintain the momentum. We're looking forward to the game against Scotland. We want to execute our skills with a lot of confidence, because at the moment everyone is confident and playing good cricket. We want to continue.

Hasan Ali, the only worry for Pak in the bowling line-up
In the bowling department, the pace duo of Haris Rauf and Shaheen Afridi have been their best bowlers with seven and five wickets respectively so far, while spinners Imad Wasim and Shadab Khan, too, have done the job asked of them. The only worrying thing will be the form of seamer Hasan Ali, who has gone for runs.

Pakistan batters are on fire
Pakistan's openers Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have been on fire and when they failed to do the job, their middle-order rose to the occasion, while six-hitting machine Asif has proved to be one of the best finishers in the tournament so far. Although they have contributed, the likes of Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Hafeez and Shoaib Malik will hope to be more consistent and look to stay till the end.
17:38 (IST) Nov 07
For Scotland, it will be an uphill task but they hope to put up a better show than their last match and end things on a positive note. Scotland won all three matches to qualify for Super 12 but crashed out after losing the last four games.
