Sri Lanka vs Scotland, Match 19
27th June, 12:30 PM IST
Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo
Both teams have been in impressive form. With three victories each, both teams will be eager to secure another win to cement the top spot in Group B.
In their previous encounter against Ireland, Sri Lanka showcased another dominant performance. Despite losing two early wickets, they recovered well courtesy of opener Dimuth Karunaratne’s maiden ODI century and helped Sri Lanka post 325 runs. Ireland struggled to keep up with the required run rate and lost wickets at regular intervals, eventually being bowled out for 192.
Scotland, on the other hand, faced Oman in their previous match and continued showing their fightback spirit. After losing an early wicket, the second and third-wicket partnerships were instrumental in Scotland’s revival. Brandon McMullen was the standout performer, scoring a remarkable 136 off just 121 balls. Scotland set a challenging target of 321 runs for Oman, who started their chase on a disappointing note. Although they fought back valiantly, Oman fell short by 76 runs.
