Scotland captain Preston Mommsen hopes to draw inspiration from Ireland's shock win over the West Indies, as they prepare to play co-hosts New Zealand in Dunedin in the ICC World Cup Pool A on Tuesday (17th February).

SOUNDBITE: (English) Preston Mommsen, Scotland captain (on his team's build-up leading to the World Cup):

Yeah, the build-up has been near perfect for the boys. We're very realistic about the opposition that we're up against. Obviously, New Zealand are a quality team, and the form they are currently in, they're going to be a difficult team to break down. But, at the same time, we've prepared as we for every other game in the lead-up to this game tomorrow, and hopefully we can put in a good performance."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Preston Mommsen, Scotland captain (on the vital players in his team):

"I think one to 11 have the possibility and the potential to make an impact at this World Cup. Matthew Machan, very dynamic, short, punchy short of player, David Warner-style player, and has the ability to take the game away from the opposition. Calum MacLeod has had a brilliant past 12 months, and Kyle Coetzer is also looking good with his 96 against West Indies. He's in good touch. We'll be looking to them to score heavily and hopefully feature in the top 10, top 20 of the run scorers in this group stage, and hopefully that sets us up to get through to the next round. At the same time, we have bowlers who will exploit conditions and are very skillful in their own right. Iain Wardlaw, Josh Davey only recently broke the world record of being the only two opening bowlers to ever take 10 wickets in an ODI. We're in good shape, we're in good touch, and hopefully these players for us can stand up and put in good performances."
