NAGPUR, Mar 12:
Scotland dished out a superb allround performance to notch up an eight-wicket win over Hong Kong via D/L method in a rain-affected inconsequential match of the ICC World Twenty20 here today.
In a first round Group B match that was interrupted twice due to rain, Hong Kong posted 127 for 7 in 20 overs but with rain delaying the start of the second innings, Scotland were given a revised target of 76 runs in 10 overs.
Scotland then overhauled the target with the loss of two wickets and as many overs to spare to post their first victory in an ICC global event at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Jamtha here.
It was Matt Machan who took them to victory with a six off Nadeem Ahmed in the last ball of 8th over.
For Hong Kong, Ahmed (1/20) and Aizaz Khan (1/11) picked one wicket each.
