http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Under-19 World Cup 2012 – (11th Place Play-off) – Match Update
Aided by an intense bowling attack, the Scotland Under-19s succeeded in clinching 11th place in the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2012 after securing a 5-wicket win over the Ireland Under-19s at the WEP http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harris-c61739 Oval in Brisbane today on August 24.
The Ireland U-19s won the toss and elected to bat first, but for the earlier part of the innings, they remained on shaky ground. Not a single Scotland U-19 bowler went wicket-less, while Player of the Match Ruaidhri http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Smith-c90598 (10-0-48-3) and Aman Bailwal (9.4-1-38-3)
claimed 3 each, and Patrick Sadler (10-1-35-2) took two.
Scott Campbell (5) and Ryan Hunter (9) opened the innings for their side, but were unable to contribute much. Ruaidhri Smith dismissed http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Campbell-c49176 in the 4th over, and followed that up with the wicket of Hunter in the 6th over.
Sam Page polished off the top order by sending Alistair Shields (8) back to the pavilion in the 11th over, and by then Ireland were at 40 for 3. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shane-Charles-Getkate-c89657 (11) both managed to get starts, but were dismissed before they
could convert them into substantial scores.
Tyrone Kane, however, chipped in with a vital 78, and although skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ben-Wylie-c47616
(10) and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Graeme-J-McCarter-c60498 (12) chipped in with some useful runs to enable the Ireland U-19s to finish, all out, at a total of 182.
In comparison, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Scotland-c756 U-19s breezed through their 183-run chase, reaching 185 with only 5 wickets down.
Openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Frederick-RJ-Coleman-c57922 (12). By the time Coleman was dismissed in the 19th over,
Scotland had reached 84 for 2. However, his successor Nicholas Farrar, contributed a substantial score, remaining not out on 38.
McLean and Peter Ross (0) were both sent packing in the 24th over by Wylie, after which http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Henry-Richard-Edwards-c62725 (26) teamed up with Farrar for a 52-run stand. Edwards was dismissed in the 37th over by Dockrell, after which Ruaidhri Smith joined
Farrar for an unbeaten 24-run partnership which got the team safely to 185, with 50 deliveries remaining.
