Scotland will host New Zealand for a limited-overs series, starting with the first of two-match T20Is on July 27. The series will also feature a one-off ODI which will take place on July 31. New Zealand will be high on confidence after clinching the ODIs and T20Is series against Ireland recently.
The Kiwis will, however, miss the services of their premier players Kane Williamson, Devon Conway, Tim Southee and Trent Boult. Scotland, meanwhile, will be without the services of their former captain Kyle Coetzer who announced his retirement from the T20Is recently but is expected to feature in the ODI contest. Richie Berrington will be leading the hosts in the shortest format.
New Zealand have won both the contests in T20Is against Scotland. The Grange Cricket Club in Edinburg has hosted 11 T20 matches thus far with the team batting first winning it seven times and those bowling first winning four times. Let us have a look at some of the key stats from the venue.
