Zee News
Scotland left-arm Mark Watt says his team are ready for the big challenges coming in the Super 12 and wants to compete against the best (Virat Kohli, Babar Azam and Kane Williamson).
Scotland are going to be brutal and will go for "a few upsets" when they begin the 'Super 12' campaign in the ICC T20 World Cup on October 27, asserted their left-arm spinner Mark Watt after their emphatic eight-wicket win against Oman with three overs to spare. Scotland have been on a roll in the First Round Group B matches, steamrolling their opponents and winning all three games in the preliminary round to qualify for the 'Super 12s' as leaders of the pool.
On Thursday (October 21), Scotland first restricted co-hosts Oman to 122 and then smashed the required runs for the loss of two wickets and with three overs to spare. Talking about his side's prospects in 'Super 12s', Watt said with confidence that, "I think we are going to make a few upsets. I don`t see why not. We've done it before. We've beaten the best ODI team in the world, we've beaten Bangladesh just there. I think we're on a really good run of form."
He warned the big teams in 'Super 12s' to beware of Scotland's potential. "Yeah, I think teams won`t take us lightly. Yeah, they should be worried about Scotland. We're in a great run of form and we've got a lot of momentum going forward, so yeah," added Watt.
