Scots’ Cup boilover

SCOTLAND has pulled off a shock six-run victory over Bangladesh at the Twenty20 World Cup thanks to a manof-the-match performance from a former Amazon delivery driver as Oman handed debutants Papua New Guinea a 10-wicket rout.

In the 3000-seat stadium on the outskirts of Muscat, Scotland recovered from 6-53 to stun the Tigers, who are ranked six in the world.

Chris Greaves’ 28-ball 45 guided Scotland to 9-140 and he then took two key wickets with his leg-spin to restrict Bangladesh to 7-134. Greaves, 31, sent back Shakib Al Hasan (20) and Mushfiqur Rahim (38) to dent Bangladesh’s chase.
