"We know every team is dangerous in this competition," said Scotland captain Kyle Coetzer."It is vitally important not only for us as Scotland but for every team here."The Netherlands, who reached the 'Super 10' round in 2014, Oman, Hong Kong and hosts the UAE will all be among the favourites to qualify.
