Team Analysis:
Scotland:
The 29-year-old left-handed top-order batter George Munsey powered Scotland against West Indies with his impressive 66 off 53 deliveries. Munsey's innings included nine boundaries as he played at the strike rate of 124.53. Batting all-rounder Calum MacLeod also made notable contribution with his 23 runs off 14 deliveries. The likes of George Munsey, Michael Jones, are Calum Macleod are good options while forming a fantasy squad. Mark Watt picked three wickets in the game against WI, and that gives him direct entry in the fantasy squad. Brad Wheal and Michael Leask are two decent options from the bowling department.
Ireland:
Andrew Balbirnie-led side is a quite settled side as it features quality batters and bowlers, as well. The skipper Balbirnie and prolific batter Paul Stirling are two of the best options from the side. 22-year-old Harry Tector is another prominent batter in the squad who has been impressive with the bat. The 22-year-old has played 44 T20Is, scoring 768 runs at an average of 24 and has a strike rate of nearly 130. Joshua Little will lead the pace attack for Ireland and must deserve an inclusion in the fantasy squad. Batting all-rounder Simi Singh is another good option from the squad.
