That brings us to the end of our coverage of the India-Scotland Group 2 meeting in the T20 World Cup, with the Men in Blue blowing yet another opposition away in clinical fashion as they go past Afghanistan and New Zealand in terms of Net Run Rate, though the Black Caps still are ahead of them by a couple of points thanks to their superior performance through the campaign.

India have done their part, and now it is over to Afghanistan as far as their chances of making it to the semis is concerned. The only way India can advance to the knockouts is if Afghanistan beat New Zealand, preferrably by a small margin, and then the Men in Blue go on to produce another ruthless display against Namibia in the final league game of the tournament.

For now, it's time for us to bid you all good night!

22:03 (IST)

Virat Kohli, India captain: A dominating performance, something we were striving to do again. Will be interesting to see what will happen on the 7th. In the first couple of games, there were a few variables that came into play. Just glad we are back in our mojo. We spoke about 110-120 max. The execution was spot on. Precisely what happened with the bat as well. KL and Rohit were brilliant. We spoke about the 8-10 over bracket at the start of the innings. When they play like that, they’re going to give us the momentum. Once the cloud of pressure builds, if the bowling unit is smart enough, then they extend the pressure even further. Shami bowled with great intent. Jadeja was absolutely brilliant with the areas he bowled.

22:03 (IST)

Kyle Coetzer, Scotland captain: Tough day in the office. The only way we are going to improve is by going through games like these. Mark’s been excellent all tournament for us. That’s another reason being here is so important for us. He’s a fantastic player and a good striker of the cricket ball.

Ravindra Jadeja (3/15) is the Player of the Match!

Jadeja: I was enjoying. Odd was turning and spinning. First one was the special one. Whenever you get batsman out on turning ball, that is special. We were looking to play a good brand of cricket. We were just looking to play out best game.

BOWLED! Bumrah finishes things off as Mark Watt is the last batter to fall. Made plenty of room looking for a scoop over fine leg, and made no connection in the end that resulted in the ball smashing into the furniture. Scotland have been bowled out for 85 after being put in to bat

Watt b Bumrah 14(13)
20:50 (IST)

OUT! That's three wickets in as many deliveries for the Indians, as Shami gets rid of Alasdair Evans with a brute of a yorker, which deflects off his back foot before hitting the leg stump! That was 143 clicks, and simply too fast and furious for the Scotland No 10! SCO 81/9

Evans b Shami 0(1)
20:48 (IST)

OUT! Back-to-back dismissals for Scotland! Shayan Sharif sets off for the non-striker's end after an unsuccessful LBW appeal by Shami, without noticing his partner freezing after a couple of steps forward. Substitute Kishan charges towards the ball from midwicket, and instead of throwing decides to run all the way to the stumps to effect the run out. SCO 81/8

20:24 (IST)

OUT! Another entertaining cameo comes to an end as Leask is trapped leg-before by Jadeja, who has struck for a third time today. Went for the slog sweep, but ended up missing the ball completely. Was an easy enough decision in the end for the umpire. SCO 58/5

Cross LBW Jadeja 2(9)
20:05 (IST)

Berrington b Jadeja 0(5)
20:01 (IST)

OUT! Munsey's entertaining innings finally comes to an end as he hits straight to Pandya at mid on! Shami takes just two balls to make an impact! SCO 27/2

India vs Scotland, Latest Updates, T20 World Cup 2021: SIX! Suryakumar Yadav launches the ball into the orbit straight down the ground to finish things off in style for Team India, who chase the modest 86-run target down in just 39 deliveries to go past Afghanistan and New Zealand in terms of Net Run Rate in the Group 2 points table! India (89/2) hammer Scotland (85) by eight wickets!

Preview: An upbeat Indian team will hope to keep their semi-final chances alive with they take on Scotland in the T20 World Cup Group 2 clash at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Friday.

After losing their opening games against Pakistan and New Zealand that has almost knocked them out of the mega event, India managed to collect their first points of the campaign with a rousing victory over Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.

The Indian batting unit was ruthless against the celebrated Afghan attack for a change. Openers Rohit Sharma (74) and KL Rahul (69) forged a 140-run opening stand after India were put in to bat at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium, laying the foundation for the massive first innings total of 210/2.

Afghanistan, in reply, lost wickets from the outset and weren't able to build partnerships along the way. Ravichandran Ashwin, playing his first white-ball game for India since 2017, was among the wickets as he got rid of middle-order batters Gulbadin Naib and Najibullah Zadran to reduce the Afghans to 69/5 in the 12th over. Despite a fighting sixth-wicket stand from skipper Mohammad Nabi (35) and Karim Janat (42*), the Afghans never stood a chance thereafter, and ended up losing by 65 runs.

India's win on Wednesday leaves Scotland as the only team on Group 2 without a victory so far in the Super 12s stage of the tournament. The Scottish team had earlier got their Round 1 campaign off to a stirring start with a narrow six-run win over Bangladesh, and would go on to defeat Papua New Guinea as well as Oman comfortably to progress to the Super 12s.

However, the second round of the biggest T20 event hasn't been kind to them. They started off with a 130-run thrashing at the hands of the ruthless Afghans, getting shot out for a paltry 60, and suffered a four-wicket loss at the hands of Namibia in their next game.

Despite the defeats, the Scots showed spirit in their 16-run loss to New Zealand in the first game of Wednesday's double header. After being set 173 to win by the Kiwis, with Martin Guptill missing out on a ton by seven runs, Scotland got off to a steady start, and were 66/1 in the eighth over before losing their next four wickets for 40 runs that complicated their job.

A fighting contribution from Michael Leask (42 not out off 20 balls, 3X4, 3X6) gave them a late boost and rekindled their hopes, but the Black Caps managed to hold on to their nerves to add another two points against their name in the end.
