It will be an all-European affair in the Desert T20 Challenge on Tuesday (January 17) with the Netherlands locking horns with Scotland in a Pool B match at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE). Both sides have won their first games -- against Oman and Hong Kong, respectively, and will look to win this one to inch closer to the knockouts.
While Scotland earned a 24-run victory over Hong Kong in their opening match, Netherlands beat Oman by five wickets in their first game.
Meanwhile, Afghanistan on Monday (Jan 16) registered their second successive win when they beat the hosts by 5 wickets to go to Pool A top. They play Namibia on Thursday (Jan 19) and a win in that match will confirm them as the group toppers. The top two teams from two groups consisting of four teams each will advance to the semifinals.
