Done with the pre-match formalities. The Scottish players spread out on the field after hearing some words by their skipper in a huddle. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan stride out to bat. Hamza Tahir is set to start with the ball. Before the start, the Scottish team takes the knee to support the Black Lives Matter movement and the Pakistani teams have their hands on their hearts to show their support to the fight against racism. Here we go....

We are set for the clash! The teams are out for the national anthems. First, the anthem of Scotland will be played, followed by Pakistan's.

Shaheen Afridi is down for a chat. He says that bowling with Hasan Ali and Haris Rauf is great and it's a good combination. Tells that he has played for the last 3 years for Pakistan in all three formats and tries to keep things simple. Adds that whatever format it is, he tries to give 100 percent for the team. Says that Shahid Afridi is his hero and he requested PCB to get number 10 and feels lucky to have it.

Kyle Coetzer, the skipper of Scotland, says that they have been looking forward to playing against teams like India and Pakistan. Adds that they believed that they can beat the top sides, but it was important for them to go through these challenges. Informs that they have two changes and jokes that he is getting used to losing the toss now.

The captain of Pakistan, Babar Azam says that they will bat first. Mentions that they want to put runs on the board and put pressure on them. Tells that the people are supporting them and they are happy with their performance. Adds that they are looking to carry the same momentum and informs that they are unchanged.

Scotland (Playing XI) - George Munsey, Kyle Coetzer (C), Matthew Cross (WK), Richie Berrington, Dylan Budge (In for Calum MacLeod), Michael Leask, Chris Greaves, Mark Watt, Hamza Tahir (In for Alasdair Evans), Safyaan Sharif, Brad Wheal.

Pakistan (Unchanged playing XI) - Babar Azam (C), Mohammad Rizwan (WK), Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, Hasan Ali, Haris Rauf, Shaheen Afridi.

TOSS - Both the skippers come out to the middle for the flip of the coin. The coin goes up and lands in favour of Pakistan. They have opted to BAT first.

Just an update for everyone. The clash between Afghanistan and New Zealand has ended and the Kiwis have won the clash. That means that Pakistan will be joined by New Zealand as the two semi-finalists from this group. India and Afghanistan are eliminated and the clash between India and Namibia will be a dead rubber.

As far as Scotland are concerned, they won all their three matches in the first round but have underperformed in the Super 12s. They have lost all their four matches though they looked competitive in a couple of matches. The tournament has been a learning curve for them and will be only playing for pride. In their last match, they were folded for mere 85 runs and they will look to put up a better fight in this match and end the tournament on a winning note. Stay tuned for further updates.

Pakistan have already sealed their berth in the semi-finals by winning four matches on the trot. They are looking like a really strong side and are the only team to stay unbeaten so far. Since they have already qualified, it will be interesting to see how they approach this game. It'll be also interesting to see whether they play their first choice set of players or whether they will rest a few key players and test their bench strength. They would look to end the tournament on a high and remain unbeaten in the Super 12s.

Match 41 of the T20 World Cup sees a clash between Pakistan and Scotland. This is sort of a dead rubber as both teams have nothing to lose or gain from the Super 12s anymore. But, it is still a game of cricket and we hope for a good game. On that note, a very warm welcome to the coverage.

... Match Day ...
