ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2, Oman vs Scotland: Rain plays spoilsport at Al Amerat

Heavy rainfall, signalling the approach of Cyclone Shaheen, forced Oman and Scotland to split the points in the sixth and last match of the seventh League 2 trilateral series at At Amerat, Oman.

An unbeaten 55-ball 58 from George Munsey, with three sixes and as many fours, helped Scotland reach 100/3 in 23.2 overs after they slipped to 24/3 in the Powerplay. Bilal Khan (2-19) and Kaleemullah (1-18) did the damage for Oman before Munsey and Richie Berrington (15*) revived them by adding an unbroken 74-run stand for the fourth wicket.

With the result, Oman remained at the top of the points table with 27 points, albeit second-placed Scotland (16 points) still have six games in hand. Papua New Guinea languish at the bottom. They have lost all 12 games so far.

Brief Scores: Scotland 100/3 in 23.2 overs (George Munsey 58*; Bilal Khan 2-19) vs Oman. No Result.
