New Zealand are the favourites in the today’s match against the Scotland. According to the recent form of Scotland, its more likely to be one sided game. Scotland have never beaten any of the test playing nations either in ODI or Twenty20 internationals. Scotland recent form is also not much to be talked about, they lost their ODI status in the World Cup earlier in the year and doesnot look too confident in the warm-up matches as well.

New zealand on the other side will be feeling like they gonna play another practice match. Kiwis are really charged up for the T20 and this can be seen in their recent warm-up matches. Brendon McCullum is back in form and he will the player to watch out for in todays match. Ross Taylor is in his best form and exploding at every opposition.
