Calum MacLeod Recent Statistics in T20Is

With Kyle Coetzer retired, MacLeod took on the responsibility of opening the innings for Scotland. He scored a decnet 33 from just 24 balls in the long chase of 226 to get the team off to a good start. However, he would like to turn his start into a big one in the second T20I and soon Scotland will look better to post or chase a big total.

Mark Watt Recent Statistics in T20Is

Mark Watt has always been known for his strict line and height and his bowling attributes were on display again during the first T20I. While the rest of the bowlers went for many, he went for just 32 runs in his four-over spell and also took a wicket from centurion Finn Allen. Much will depend on how Watt performs in the final game.

Martin Guptill stats in T20Is

Despite Finn Allen’s century, Guptill remains a key player at the top of the order. He’s looked good with the bat on this European tour and looks like a big blow is just around the corner. In the first game, he scored a sparkling 40, but was overshadowed by Allen’s brilliant. Expect the veteran to get a big score in this game.

Ish Sodhi stats in T20Is

Ish Sodhi always knows how to pack a punch with his bowling. He loves to perform and his leg spin works wonders for the Kiwis more often than not. The man returned with the figures of 4/28 in the series opener and is expected to run through the Scottish lineup one more time.

Who will win the 2nd T20I match between Scotland and New Zealand today?

Scotland was never the favorite to win the first T20I. But they were blown away by Finn Allen with his offensive at bat. Their bowlers had no idea what was happening and looked out of place. However, now that they have an idea, the Scottish cricketers are expected to put on a better show in this game.

New Zealand, meanwhile, will be the overwhelming favorite to win this series 2-0. Well, the question will only be of the margin of victory for them. The Kiwis have been eager to be ruthless since the series in Ireland and expect to get the job done again.

New Zealand and Scotland have faced each other in three T20Is so far and on all occasions the Kiwis have emerged victorious.

New Zealand should be able to win this series 2-0.
