Edinburgh, June 13 (TNS): Pakistan will face Scotland in the second T-20 International on Wednesday, as the hosts look to bounce back from a 1-0 deficit in the series at Edinburgh.<\/p>\n
The green shirts will look to clean sweep the series and maintain their No.1 ranking in the shortest format of the game.<\/p>\n
On Sunday both teams clashed in Edinburgh to play the first T-20I of the two-match series in which Pakistan thrashed Scotland by 48 runs.<\/p>\n
Pakistan elected to bat first and posted a humungous total for the Scottish outfit courtesy a brilliant captain\u2019s knock from Sarfraz Ahmed of 89* the best score in his T-20I career.<\/p>\n
Shoaib Malik provided the impetus to the total as he maneuvered the ball brilliantly in his knock of 53.<\/p>\n
In reply, Scotland started brightly in the powerplay and the opening partnership boasted a half-century stand.<\/p>\n
But strikes from Hassan Ali and young star Shadab Khan made Scotland become lackluster and they fell short of the total.<\/p>\n
Skipper Sarfraz was named Man of the Match for his blistering knock which took Scotland out of the game.<\/p>\n
The second T-20 will be played tonight at 8.00 pm PST.<\/p>\n
