As Scotland's battle to occupy a Super 12 spot in the 2022 T20 World Cup begins against the West Indies on October 17, the former's captain Richie Berrington reckoned that there is nothing for them to take lightly.

Citing on his team's preparations, Berrington stated that Scotland lie in a confident space, considering the way they have played in the lead-up to the tournament.

"I think we can take a lot of confidence from the white ball cricket we've played this year, certainly in a strong position in terms of the one-day stuff. We're really looking forward to this World Cup," Berrington said as quoted by BBC.

"It's a different West Indies side, but these guy have got lots of experience in leagues all round the world, so we won't be taking anything for granted," 

Win against Bangladesh shows how good we can be: Cross

In the previous edition of the competition held in Oman and the United Arab Emirates last year, Scotland upset Bangladesh in their campaign-opener and then marched into the Super 12 by defeating Papua New Guinea and Oman.

Referring to their triumph over Bangladesh, Matthew Cross asserted that Scotland belong to this level.

"It shows that at this level we can mix it with the best. The way we beat Bangladesh in a tight game, where we were behind the eight ball, shows how good we can be," Cross said.

"To get through would be a special achievement. It's a pretty tough group; we're probably going to have to win two games," 

Placed alongside the Windies, Ireland and Zimbabwe in Group B, the Scots will compete to reach the Super 12 stage as they lock horns with Nicholas Pooran and Co. tomorrow at Bellerive Oval, Hobart.
