Indian openers KL Rahul & Rohit Sharma made an absolute joke of the target of 86 as they chased it down within 6.3 overs, defeating Scotland by 8 wickets. With this huge win, India's NRR has overtaken Afghanistan & New Zealand's net run rate and are now placed at 2nd spot, behind Pakistan in the Group 2 of Super 12 of the T20 World Cup. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
For India, KL Rahul scored 50 runs off 18 balls with 6 fours & 3 sixes. Rohit Sharma scored 30 runs off 17 balls with 5 fours & 1 six. For Scotland, Bradley Wheal & Mark Watt picked up 1 wicket. However, all the bowlers were equally smashed around the park by the Indian batters. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the first innings, the Indian bowling attack displayed a fierce performance of bowling as they restricted Scotland to a feeble score of 85\/10. For India, star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja picked up 3 wickets, giving away just 15 runs in his 4 overs. Mohammad Shami also picked up 3 wickets, with a maiden and gave away just 15 runs in 3 overs. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Jasprit Bumrah picked up 2 wickets with a maiden in his spell, while Ravichandran Ashwin picked up 1 wicket. For Scotland, George Munsey scored 24 runs off 19 balls with 4 fours & 1 six. Michael Leask also scored 21 runs off 12 balls with 2 fours & 1 six. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier, Indian captain Virat Kohli won the toss & opted to bowl first against Scotland in the 37th match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. This match is being played at Dubai International Stadium, Dubai. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Now, in order to qualify for the semi-finals, India would be hoping for the Afghan team to defeat New Zealand by a close margin on Sunday. And then, India would have to defeat Namibia in the last match of the Super 12 stage. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Brief Score: <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\r\nIndia now have the NRR of +1.62!!
