What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. Scotland will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. Stunning upset and a fantastic result for Scotland! They came into the game as underdogs but showed plenty of grit and determination to fell the more favoured Hong Kongs. ----------- MoM: M Watt ----------- Scotland 130/3 20 overs Hong Kong 128/5 20 overs ----------- Scotland wins by 2 runs

 

[Neo 7]

Scotland wins by 2 runs

 

[Akshay.]

We lost only because of Anshy Rath
First conceded 45 runs in 4 overs and then scored 8 from 16

 

[Pinch hitter]

losing the match by narrow margin is really hurts...

 

[Till Valhalla]

An amazing performance from us.

 

[Saroj padhy]

Damn. We lost. Ridiculous performance by Anshy Rath.

 

[MrNginator]

Based off our team's performance and as well as mine, I wish to step down from captaincy as soon as Talha Hayat returns from international duty.

 

[Targaryen]

I seriously need more balls to face. My batting position is very low considering the amount of cricket I've played at no.4. Losing by 2 runs is really unfortunate and hope we back ourselves and comeback strong in the next game.

Hope @Saroj padhy promote me up the order.

I consider yourself as Dhoni.

I consider yourself as Dhoni.

Which I'm not . Its like playing Manish Pandey down the order.
