Welcome to CricketCountry’s coverage of the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2014 Group A match between India and Scotland. The match is taking place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai. India are coming off a convincing win over arch-rivals Pakistan in their first game. On the other hand, Scotland also recorded a good win in their first game against Papua New Guinea. India are clearly the stronger side, but will guard against complacency as they have to put in good performances throughout the tournament if they have to emulate the previous batch.
