Batting first, West Indies managed to set a target of 181. Scotland chased down the target with seven wickets in hand. They made 185/3 in 43.3 overs. “I am not too sure on bowling nine overs on the trot.

Asked about his teammate Mather Cross who scored 74 runs off 104 balls, Brandon McMullen said: “He was phenomenal today, took a lot of pressure off us. Awesome to see him back in form.”
