USA U19 124 (35.2 ov) v Scotland Under-19s 125/2 (28.2 ov) - Scotland Under-19s won by 8 wickets (with 130 balls remaining)
In the ongoing International Cricket Council (ICC) Under-19 World Cup Qualifiers, Scotland won the game against the United States of America by eight wickets as they successfully chased a tally of 124 runs posted by the USA.
After winning the toss at Woodvale Road, Eglinton, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ireland-c751, the USA decided to bat first aiming to put enough runs on the board to pressurize Scotland. However, in the sixth over, Scotland delivered an early blow on the US when they managed to take the wicket
of opener Steven R Taylor, who after playing an innings of 24 runs off 22 deliveries had his stumps shattered by left-arm pacer Aman Bailwal. At the time of his departure, the US had put only 28 runs on the board.
In the next over, Amarnauth Persaud perished after giving a thick edge to Kyle Smith at second slip. The batsman knocked only two runs off the bat before his demise.
With just 37 runs on the board, the US suffered the loss of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Thomas-William-Sadler-c93881.
With the top-order back in the pavilion, skipper Gregory Raj Sewdial alongside http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Joshi-c69506 formed a commendable partnership to help the side reach a formidable tally, however, Scotland were in no mood to let the game get away from them and in
the 24th over managed to get rid of both the batsmen when Sewdial after playing a knock of 31 runs off 44 deliveries was caught at long-on by Aman Bailwal off the bowling of Smith.
On the next delivery, Joshi while trying to imitate his skipper fell exactly in the same manner by playing the same shot and getting caught by the same fielder at the same position in the field. The batsman perished after scoring 23 runs off 53 deliveries.
USA’s lower-batting order failed to capitalize on the hard work put in by the middle-order as the batsmen lost their wickets cheaply without even reaching double figures as the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Scotland-c756 bowlers showed immense talent by making life extremely difficult for
the US batsmen to score off them.
Coming on to bat, the Scots had a meagre tally at hand and had every chance to take the game away from the US, who clearly lacked the supremacy in the bowling department as compared to Scotland.
Nonetheless, USA made early inroads by grabbing the wicket of opener Mathew http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Huzefa-Mohammed-Patel-c63657.
On the total score of 13 runs Scotland lost their second wicket when Ross Elliot McLean was given leg-before-wicket off the bowling of Patel after scoring three runs off 18 deliveries. However, USA failed to make any more breakthroughs in the Scottish batting
line-up as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Flintoff-c44360 Robert John Coleman and Peter A Ross steered their side to victory by contributing 60 and 40 runs.
K http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Smith-c90598 was named as the man of the match for taking four wickets in his 8.2 overs by conceding 21 runs.
