Team Analysis:
West Indies:
30-year-old Kyle Mayers will be key for West Indies as the batter will have a huge responsibility to provide a solid foundation to the side. In 18 T20Is, Mayers has been scoring at the strike rate of 130.77 including two fifties. Evin Lewis, Rovman Powell, skipper Nicholas Pooran, Odean Smith and Jason Holder must make the cut for the fantasy squad. Meanwhile, Alzarri Joseph and Akeal Hosein are mandatory picks in the bowling department.
Scotland:
Richard Berrington-led Scotland will come to this game on the back of a comprehensive victory against the Netherlands in the warm-up game. All-rounder Richie Berrington will be a vital cog in the squad and his performance will define Scotland's destiny in the tournament. Josh Davey, Safyaan Sharif and Brad Wheal will be instrumental in the bowling department. George Munsey is another player who can add quick runs on board. Davey Davey is expected to be the best bowler for Scotland in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. He has been their top wicket-taker over the last year with 10 wickets from 7 innings and has maintained a bowling average of 18.

George Munsey, Matthew Cross, Calum MacLeod, Richie Berrington, Michael Jones, Chris Greaves, Michael Least, Mark Watt, Josh Davey, Safyaan Sharif and Brad Wheal
