Mohammed Shami and Ravindra Jadeja finished with identical hauls of 3/15 while KL Rahul scored an 18-ball half century as India defeated Scotland by 8 wickets on Friday night in Dubai to stay in contention for a spot in the semi-finals of the 2021 T20 World Cup.

The victory was India’s second in four matches and now moves them up to the third spot in the Group 2 standings, and that’s where things get interesting.
