Junaid Siddique to Munsey, no run, full on off-stump, driven straight to mid-off
Munsey and McMullen are at the crease. Munsey is on strike. Junaid Siddique will open the attack
Richie Berrington | Scotland Captain: Certainly been a while since winning a toss. It’s just about starting really well with bat or ball. Managed to do that last night which was really pleasing. Defending that total was great for us. I think we’ve brought a really strong squad here, have been able to give some younger players an opportunity as well. Great opportunity for all of us to go out there and put our hand up. Four changes tonight.
Muhammad Waseem | UAE Captain: We are going to bowl. Today dew will be there. We hope to restrict them to a low total. Past is past. Yesterday I was disappointed with my batting. Hopefully will do better today. Two changes.
Teams:
Scotland (Playing XI): George Munsey, Brandon McMullen, Charlie Tear(w), Richie Berrington(c), Michael Leask, Jack Jarvis, Chris Greaves, Mark Watt, Safyaan Sharif, Bradley Currie, Hamza Tahir

United Arab Emirates have won the toss and have opted to field
18:35 Local Time, 14:35 GMT, 20:05 IST: This 3-match T20I series is nicely poised at 1-1 and the winner takes all tonight. After being soundly beaten in the 1st game, Scotland mounted a remarkable comeback in the second. In what was a low-scoring affair, Scotland managed to defend just 121 in very unfamiliar conditions to level the series. Their pacers were brilliant both upfront and at the death. The UAE will be hungry for vengeance and they’ll not want to let a home-series like this one slide away tonight. That sets up what should be a closely fought contest. Toss and playing XI updates coming shortly.
