Scotland vs New Zealand – Team Performance in the Past Matches
New Zealand has a successful outing against Ireland recently as they won all the matches with Ireland including T20Is and ODIs. They will replicate the same performance in the upcoming T20I series against Scotland. Meanwhile, Scotland will be playing without the senior-most player Kyle Coetzer as the batter recently announced his retirement from T20I cricket. Scotland looked confident in their last tournament resulting in 3 wins from their last 5 matches which should keep them focused on maintaining their form in the series.
