Scotland has only won once in three games, making their tournament experience tumultuous. To maintain their slender hopes of qualifying, they are in a must-win situation going into this competition. George Munsey and Michael Jones will probably continue to start for the Scots. The secret to a solid start lies with Munsey, the team's top run scorer. The club needs more significant contributions from Brandon McMullen, Tom Bruce, and Matthew Cross, while Richie Berrington's frequent cameos serve as an anchor in the middle order.
Nepal is already out of the tournament after losing three straight games. They will, nevertheless, be keen to win a consolation match and leave the world stage with a win. Early middle order exposure has resulted from Kushal Bhurtel and Aasif Sheikh's opening partnership's inability to provide regular results. One of them is sorely needed by the squad to bat further into the innings. The only bright spot has been Dipendra Singh Airee, who scored a valiant half-century in the last game. Given that their averages fall below 30, seasoned activists like Rohit Paudel and Aarif Sheikh need to stand up.

Teams that bat first have won three of the games, and chasing teams have won twice. Compared to the Indian Premier League, the pitches have not been as conducive to batting success. The batsmen and bowlers should give themselves some time before attempting the big strokes because of anything in it.
