SHARJAH: Kyle Coetzer Scotland captain is confident his team will show more maturity when they play in the T20 World Cup next year after bowing out with a 72-run defeat against Pakistan on Sunday.
Scotland lost all five games in the second round stage of ‘Super 12’ but swept qualifying with three wins, including a victory over Test-playing Bangladesh.
Coetzer said his team wanted to gain experience on a larger stage.
“Yes, as a team we want to show the skills that we have,” said Coetzer.
“We also want to get as much experience as we possibly can against teams we faced in the 12s super.” “Achieving 12s super is our immediate goal.
We have to learn as much as we can from this game because the next 12 months, we have another World Cup to go to and show more maturity.” Read AlsoT20 World Cup, Pakistan vs Scotland Highlights: Sizzles Shoaib Malik in the 72-run win Pakistan face Australia in semifinalsPlaying international cricket since the last century, when several teammates today do not even born, Shoaib Malik showed them the way with a stunning 18- ball 54 to set the 72-run mauling of Scotland Pakistan T20 World Cup.
