Toss Scotland opt to bat v Papua New Guinea
Kyle Coetzer won the toss as Scotland elected to bat in their second group B fixture against Papua New Guinea in Al Amerat.
A veteran now at 29, Soper, who has also played grade cricket in Sydney, first broke through on the big stage at the Under-19 World Cup in 2012, where he picked up a five-wicket haul against eventual champions India. Evans too is a veteran now, having led Scotland’s seam attack at their previous T20 World Cup outing in India in 2016.
