McMullen ton, Greaves five-for set up Scotland’s big win
On Sunday morning, in what seemed like a Bazball effort in Bulawayo, Brandon McMullen switched gears from being 9 off 21 balls at one stage to finishing with 136 from 121. That took Scotland to 320 in 50 overs after they had managed just 47 in the first 13. In reply, Oman too took their time: they got 16 in the first five overs, but their run rate went past three again only at the end of 19 overs. They eventually fell short by 76 runs.
The win confirmed Scotland’s progress to the Super Sixes, and Oman too qualified despite the loss.
Brief scores:
Scotland 320 in 50 overs (Brandon McMullen 136, Mathew Cross 27, Richie Berrington 60, Tomas Mackintosh 32, Mark Watt 25; Bilal Khan 5-55, Fayyaz Butt 2-68) beat Oman 244 for 9 in 50 overs (Aqib Ilyas 31, Ayaan Khan 30, Naseem Khushi 69, Shoaib Khan 36; Chris Greaves 5-53) by 76 runs
