They had not met before that match since Scotland stunned England in a one-day international in Edinburgh in 2018.”I don’t think it changes much in terms of how we approach these games, but it’s definitely in the back of a few guys’ minds that these opportunities don’t come around every day for a team like us,” Wheal reported.”It’s just the opportunity to play in these big games against the best of the best. “Obviously, there’s an incredible talent pool of players in associate nations that don’t always get the opportunity to go out there and play in these games. “So, we just see it as an opportunity to really go out there and show the world what we can do.”Meet the FPL blogger bowling at the T20 World Cup
