Scotland Stun Bangladesh By means of 6 runs In T20 International Cup First Spherical

Scotland surprised Bangladesh by means of six runs of their Crew B opener of the T20 International Cup first spherical in Al Amerat on Sunday. Chris Greaves led a positive lower-order fightback with a 28-ball 45 as Scotland recovered from a hopeless state of affairs to put up 140 for 9. Invited to bat first, Scotland had been reeling at 53 for 6 within the twelfth over sooner than Greaves added 51 runs with Mark Watt (22 off 17 balls) to prop up Scotland. In answer, Bangladesh had been stopped at 134 for seven of their allocated quota of 20 overs because the match witnessed an disenchanted on the first actual day of the mega-event. Enjoying a pivotal function in Scotland’s win used to be Greaves, who adopted up his blazing knock with the 2 essential wickets of big name all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan (20) and the seasoned Mushfiqur Rahim (38). Temporary rankings: Scotland: 140/9 in 20 overs (George Munsey 29, Chris Greaves 45; Mahedi Hasan 3/19, Shakib Al Hasan 2/17). Bangladesh: 134/7 in 20 overs (Mushfiqur Rahim 38; Chris Greaves 2/19, Bradley Wheal 3/24).
