Scotland pulled off a massive upset in their previous T20 World Cup 2022 round 1 match, and the Richie Berrington-led side will be hoping to take another major step towards qualification to the Super 12 stage when they lock horns with Ireland.
Andrew Balbirnie's side began their T20 World Cup campaign with a defeat at the hands of Zimbabwe, and thus both their remaining matches are extremely crucial for Ireland to retain any hopes of reaching the next round.
In the other fixture in group B, West Indies will take on Zimbabwe, which will be a must-win match for the Caribbean as well.
As things stand, group B is turning out to be quite a surprise and the winner of this group will join up with the likes of India, South Africa and Pakistan, so the Indian fans will have an eye on this one.
