SCO vs IRE, T20 World Cup Live Scorecard
The chase is set to begin. Scotland players have made their way out in the middle. Paul Stirling and Andy Balbirnie to start with their blades. Mark Watt comes to bowl. Here we go.
... The Run Chase ...
Scotland have more than enough on the board and Berrington will feel that his bowlers can defend this total. On the other hand, Ireland will need someone to stand up and play a match-winning knock to get them home. Chase coming up shortly…
Michael Jones is in for a quick chat. He says that it feels pretty good. They were panicking at the start but they feel happy about how things ended. Says that they have a solid platform and they need to take advantage of it.
Irish bowlers kept it tight during the Powerplay allowing Scotland to score just 39 runs in the first six overs. However, once the powerplay was done Ireland started leaking runs courtesy of some mediocre bowling. Curtis Campher kept things quiet at his end and was the pick of the bowlers for them with two wickets to his name.
Scotland were dealt an early blow when they lost opener Munsey in the 2nd over. Despite the loss of that wicket, Scottish batters continued playing their shots in the middle overs and kept the scoreboard ticking. With vital contributions from Richie Berrington and Matthew Cross and an exceptional knock by the opener Michael Jones, Scotland have put up a challenging total. They will surely back their bowlers to defend this target.
So, Scotland end up with 176 on the board. The Scottish batters have vindicated their skipper’s decision to bat first. Ireland will certainly be disappointed with their bowling effort. Their fielding wasn’t up to the mark either.
