South Africa look to advance

South Africa take on Scotland in their second match on Tuesday knowing victory will send them through to the next stage.

Having cruised past the Netherlands in their first match, one more win will be enough to advance to the Super Eight and with all due respect, Scotland should not put up too much of a fight.

The Scots would have had enough trouble against Shaun Pollock alone but Makhaya Ntini returns to the side after missing the opening game, making the South African attack that bit more impressive.

And with Scotland's bowlers relatively weak, the South African batsmen will be relishing the opportunity for time in the middle again, having pummelled the Dutch.

Bet365 make South Africa 1/100 (1.01) to win while the Scots are 20/1 (21.00) for what would be a monumental upset.

Top batsmen
Captain Graeme Smith is the 9/4 (3.25) favourite to top-score for South Africa while AB de Villiers and Jacques Kallis are both 11/4 chances.

Bet365 clearly don't think too many of them will actually get to bat as they make Herschelle Gibbs, fresh from hitting six sixes in one over against the Netherlands, a 9/2 chance.

Leon Bosman is 11/2 and then it's right out to 12/1 for Mark Boucher.

As for Scotland, stand-in captain Ryan Watson and veteran Gavin Hamilton are joint favourites at 9/2.

Majid Haq and opener Fraser Watts are both 11/2 while Navdeep Poonia and Neil McCallum are both 6/1.
