SCO vs NZ: Match Preview:

Scottish batters failed to cross the 160-run mark in both the T20Is. However, they didn't lose all 10 wickets in either match and it is a silver lining on the two losses they faced against the dominant Kiwis. Chris Greaves was the top Scottish scorer in the series with 68 runs in 2 matches. 

Bowlers had a forgettable series as they were thrashed brutally in both the T20Is. The bowling unit of Chris Greaves, Mark Watt, Safyaan Sharif and others would look to put up a good fight in the only ODI against New Zealand at home. 

New Zealand batters had an excellent series as they piled on a mountain of runs in two T20Is, crossing the 200-run mark in both matches. Finn Allen was the top scorer for the Kiwis with 107 runs in 2 matches. Mark Chapman was the second highest scorer with 83 runs in 1 match followed by Michael Bracewell's 61 in 2 matches.

Spinner Ish Sodhi was the most successful bowler of the series, scalping 5 wickets while conceding 48 runs in 8 overs. Captain Mitchell Santner followed with 3 wickets and along with Ben Sears, James Neesham and Lockie Ferguson, the Kiwi bowling lineup looks formidable against the Scottish batting.
