Top Tournament Stats
Current Form USA:
USA have been beaten by Scotland in their last match by 5 wickets.
USA batted first and posted a mammoth total of 295 for 8 in 50 overs. Aaron Jones was the hero for USA, as he smashed 123 not out in 87 balls. He struck 9 fours and 6 sixes during his innings. Apart from him, Sushant Modani and Steven Taylor also batted well and with a lot of heart. They scored 52 and 37 runs respectively. On the back of these brilliant batting performances, USA crossed the 290 run mark with ease and reached 295 for 8 in 50 overs.
During the chase, Scotland got off to an ideal start as the opening pair of Kyle Coetzer and Craig Wallace collected 72 runs for the first wicket partnership. Coetzer was dismissed for 28 by Saurabh Netravalkar. Wallace scored a run a ball 45 before being dismissed by Nisarg Patel. A real match winning knock was played by the experienced campaigner Calum MacLeod who scored 117 in 91 balls to lay a great foundation for a successful chase. Michael Leask and Chris Greaves provided the finishing touch and took their team home in the 48th over with 5 wickets in hand.
Current Form Scotland:
Scotland have won their last match against UAE by a big margin of 86 runs.
Scotland batted first and UAE bowlers did a good job to restrict Scotland to a modest total of 254 for 9 in 50 overs.
The man in form Calum MacLeod continued on his merry time and scored 77 in 107 balls. Matthew Cross also played a sensational knock of 85 in 92 balls. Each time, Scotland wanted to press their foot on the accelerator, they lost a wicket. It was never a free flowing innings, thanks to a phenomenal bowling display by UAE bowlers. The lower middle order couldn't really take the attack to the opposition and Scotland were restricted to 254 for 9 in 50 overs.
During the chase, UAE openers Muhammad Waseem and Aryan Lakra provided their team a stable start and both added 25 runs in 3 overs before Waseem was dismissed by Hamza Tahir. His dismissal triggered a collapse in the UAE top order and UAE went from 25 for 0 to 69 for 5. Vriitya Aravind played cautiously and tried his best with a knock of 50 in 85 balls but it was not enough as the required run rate was always mounting up. There were little contributions by the lower order batters like Kashif Daud but UAE never looked in a winning position. They were bowled out for 168 by the end of the 41st over and lost the match by 86 runs.

Scotland: Kyle Coetzer, Richie Berrington (captain), Dylan Budge, Matthew Cross, Olly Davidson, Chris Greaves, Michael Leask, Calum MacLeod, Gavin Main, George Munsey, Adrian Neill, Safyaan Sharif, Chris Sole, Hamza Tahir
