Scotland is bound to feel right at home for its opening game of the 2015 World Cup.
The Scots beat the United Arab Emirates by 41 runs in the final of the ICC World Cup qualifying tournament in Lincoln on Saturday to claim a spot in Pool A.
Its first game in the World Cup is against New Zealand in Dunedin - the auld Edinburgh of the South.
Some of Dunedin's street names ought to be very familiar and, sadly, perhaps even the weather, aye?
A bit of Scotch mist, though, will not be enough to dampen the Scottish spirits.
The team's leading batsman and captain, Preston Mommsen, said the team was thrilled to have made it through to the main draw.
''We came here with the goal of getting through and we managed to do it,'' he told the Otago Daily Times yesterday.
''We know there is a big Scottish heritage in Dunedin and so it is pretty fitting that we have a couple of fixtures there.
''Hopefully, we can get quite a bit of support while we are down there.''
Scotland will also play Afghanistan at the University Oval, on February 26 next year, six days after its clash with the Black Caps.
The thought of playing the Black Caps in the kind of form the team is in at the moment was an exciting prospect for Mommsen.
''I don't think it can get much better than that. First of all, for an associate team like us to get to the World Cup and then be able to have the opportunity to play both host nations is pretty special.
''No doubt it will be a sell-out crowd and I'm sure it will be an experience we'll never forget.''
Mommsen was in terrific touch during the qualifiers and was named man of the tournament for his efforts. He was the second leading scorer with 520 runs at an average of 86.66 and, importantly, scored an undefeated 139 in the final.
''I was just very happy I was able to deliver, especially since we were under a bit of pressure at the beginning.''
Scotland had slumped to 37 for three but recovered to reach 285 for five thanks largely to Mommsen's century.
Opening bowlers Iain Wardlaw and Robert Taylor picked up three wickets apiece to help restrict the UAE to 244 for nine.
While the UAE lost the final, it has also qualified for the World Cup and will play in Pool B.
Other than Dunedin's Scottish heritage, there is another Otago connection in the Scotland team.
Left-hand batsman Matthew Machan played Hawke Cup cricket for North Otago in 2010-11 and also played for Waitaki Boys' High School.
