Afghanistan and Scotland have played a total of 6 T20I matches against each other since gaining the T20I status. While Afghanistan dominated in all six, Scotland failed to register even a single win against the Asian side. Scotland became the only team in the T20 World Cup qualifier to qualify for the Super 12 without losing any match. Kyle Coetzer & Co also defeated Bangladesh in their first T20 World Cup match qualifier despite the Mahmadullah-led side entering the competition as clear favourites to top the chart in their respective group. On the other hand, Afghanistan lost their first warm-up game against South Africa by 41 run. However, they upped their game against the defending champions West Indies in the next warm-up game with a 56-run win. The team will be trying to stay more focused against a spirited Scottish side who look to rewrite history in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2021. Image: ScotlandCricket/Twitter
