AFG vs SCO 17th T20I ICC T20 World Cup, 2021 Match Pitch Report:
A slow track is expected for this fixture with batters having to work hard for their runs. There isn’t much swing on offer for the pacers, something that the batters will look to exploit in the powerplay overs. However, inconsistent bounce could play into the bowler’s hands, making for an even contest between bat and ball. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, but Dew could play a role in the second half of the match.

Hazratullah Zazai might be a key player for Afghanistan at the top of the order. the left-handed opener has smashed 56 off 35 balls against West Indies in the warm-up fixture. Earlier this year, he played five games in the PSL and got 212 runs at a strike rate of 185.96.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz is a destructive batter and could be the game-changer for Afghanistan batting in the top order. He got some quick start in the warm-up games and looked in good touch. He has scored 114 runs in three T20Is in 2021.
Mohammad Nabi will be a good option for fantasy team captain. the spinning all-rounder performed well in the warm-up games as he returned 4 wickets with the best figure of 3/2 with the bat, he scored 40 runs and is still unbeaten in the tournament.
Rashid Khan will be a top captaincy option in this match. Afghanistan spinner has been in splendid form and picked 18 wickets at an economy rate of 6.69 in the IPL 2021. In three T20Is he’s played this year, he has taken 6 wickets.
SCO
George Munsey has been getting solid starts at the top of the order. The left-hander has mustered 64 runs at a strike rate of 123.07 in this tournament. A big score could well be around the corner for his and he can be backed as vice-captain.
