Our Tipster Angle

Based on current form, Bangladesh have the advantage over Scotland in this fixture. With likes of Nasum Ahmed, Shakib Al Hasan and Mahedi Hasan showing excellent form this season, Bangladesh will be looking to dismantle Scotland’s batting lineup.

On the other hand, Scotland will need to raise their overall game in a bid to compete with Bangladesh.

Therefore, the prediction is for Mahmudullah-led unit to register a comfortable win over Scotland.

In 13 matches played, Berrington has accumulated 456 runs at an average of 45.60 with two half-centuries to his name.
