Scotland registered a big win of 73 runs over Italy in Kolkata and with this, this team has caused a big upset in Group C. The Scottish team had lost the first match against West Indies but in the second match it defeated Scotland and now it has reached second place above England in the points table.

Scotland beats England

Talking about the points table of Group C, West Indies is at first place with one win in one match.

His net runrate is +1.750. Whereas Scotland has collected two points with one win in two matches and its net run rate has become +0.950. The England team has registered one win in one match but its net run rate is less than Scotland. Now if the England team plays its next match poorly or gets defeated, then Scotland's hopes of reaching the next round will increase. The interesting thing is that Scotland has to play the next match against England only. It can also defeat England in this match because Nepal had come very close to defeating the British.
If Scotland wins this match, then it will have to play a match against Nepal, where it will have another chance.
