Dubai : Pakistan have won the toss and elected to bat first in today's T20 World Cup match with Scotland at Dubai Stadium.


Skipper Babar Azam has won the toss and decided to bat first in the Super 12 T20 World Cup match with Scotland.
Pakistan’s incredible run in the opening days of the tournament means they were the first team to confirm their place in the semi-final, and also the only ones able to relax at the business end of the Super 12 stage. Now, having enjoyed a break of four days, they can use the match against Scotland to get back into tournament mode and polish their plans ahead of the knockout stages.
Although their place in the top two is confirmed, a win here will ensure they finish first in Group 2, and take on the second-place finisher in Group 1 in the semis.
For Scotland, it’s another chance to learn from the best. Since their win against Bangladesh in their first game of round one, they haven’t been able to challenge the higher-ranked sides as consistently as they might have liked in the Super 12 stage.
Team players :
Pakistan (Playing XI): Mohammad Rizwan(w), Babar Azam(c), Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, Hasan Ali, Haris Rauf, Shaheen Afridi
Scotland (Playing XI): George Munsey, Kyle Coetzer(c), Matthew Cross(w), Richie Berrington, Dylan Budge, Michael Leask, Chris Greaves, Mark Watt, Hamza Tahir, Safyaan Sharif, Bradley Wheal
