New Zealand to win
New Zealand are likely to pull off another big win to take an unassailable lead in the series. The team proved too good for the hosts and won the last match by a huge margin. This is their third win against Scotland in T20Is. Except for the T20 World Cup match in 2021, New Zealand had an easy run against Scotland so far and we can expect them to win by a huge margin once again.
