Scotland will take on Germany in match number three of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier 2023 at the Goldenacre, Edinburgh on Thursday. Ahead of the match, here's all you need to know about the SCO vs GER Dream11 prediction, including fantasy cricket tips, today's playing 11s, and the pitch report for this game.
Scotland will start this game as overwhelming favourites. They have not played a T20I since the T20 World Cup in Australia in October-November last year. However, they have been in top form and they almost made it to the ODI World Cup as they impressed in the Qualifiers. Their squad seems to be well-rounded as well.
Meanwhile, Germany has an excellent T20I record. They have a win-loss record of 30-16 and have won each of their last six games. They beat Belgium 4-0 before downing Austria 2-0. But they will have an uphill task against a strong Scotland side.
