New Zealand will be heading to Scotland for two T20Is and a solitary ODI against the hosts. The T20I series opener is scheduled to commence on the 27th of July, Wednesday.  

The Kiwis diminished their disappointing whitewash in the Test series against England in June by completing a whitewash of their own in the ODIs and T20Is in the recently concluded tour of Ireland. Michael Bracewell emerged as the find of the series. After smashing a century in the ODI series, the all-rounder recorded a hat-trick in the T20I series.

Scotland, on the other hand, who had an abysmal T20 World Cup last year in UAE, has been rocked by the racism scandal on the board just days before the series. The Cricket Scotland board was forced to resign after an investigation by SportScotland confirmed institutional racism in Cricket Scotland following allegations from two former Scotland international cricketers in an interview in 2021.

SportScotland has now taken over the reins of Cricket Scotland following the departure of its original members and will be in charge of the proceeding until October next year. The ICC has backed the new regime and hopes for a more diverse and inclusive environment in Scotland Cricket.

The two T20I matches and the one-off ODI will all be hosted by the Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh. The tour will commence with the T20I series, with the first match scheduled on the 27th of July, Wednesday, commencing at 7 PM IST, and the second T20I on the 29th kicking off at the same time. The tour will conclude with the ODI on the 31st of this month, commencing at 3:30 PM IST. The matches can be live streamed on the FanCode App.

After having a successful outing against Ireland recently, New Zealand will now take on the Netherlands and Scotland in white-ball games. Talking about the New Zealand tour of Scotland, the visitors will take on the home side in three limited-over matches.

At first, both teams will take on each other in a two-match T20I series starting on July 27 (Wednesday) and the second T20I encounter will be played on July 29 (Friday). After the T20I series is done and dusted, both teams will square off in a one-off ODI match to be played on July 31 (Sunday). All the matches will be played at the Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh.

The Kiwi side played excellently against the Irish team as they won all the matches including the ODI and T20I encounters and they will back themselves to replicate their performance in the upcoming series against Scotland as well. Meanwhile, Scotland will be without one of their senior-most player Kyle Coetzer as the batter recently announced his retirement from T20I cricket. However, he will be available for the 50-over encounter.
