– The scale of the task facing a Scotland side taking part in the World Cup for the first tims since 2007 was emphasised when they suffered a crushing eight-wicket defeat by Afghanistan in Dubai last week.

Getting sufficient runs on the board to keep themselves in the game promises to be a major issue for a Scotland side who did though see Matt Machan make 86 in a total of 216 for nine in their loss to Ireland on Tuesday.

Scotland will look to make use of the local knowledge of their New Zealand-born coach Grant Bradburn ahead of their clash against England in Christchurch on February 23 while their backroom staff also includes former England all-rounder Paul Collingwood.
