SHARJAH, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Afghanistan has won the toss and elected to bat in its opening Super 12 game against in-form Scotland at the T20 World Cup in Sharjah. Scotland is on a high after upsetting Bangladesh in the qualifiers before beating Papua New Guinea and co-host Oman to advance. Experienced Mohammad Nabi will lead Afghanistan which has played just three T20s since March last year. Nabi said victory against West Indies in a warm-up game had “been really good”. Scotland skipper Kyle Coetzer said he was happy to bowl first.
