Cross played a crucial knock of 74 runs, including seven fours, while McMullen anchored the innings with a composed 69 runs, which included eight boundaries and a six.

George Munsey and Richie Berrington also made valuable contributions, ensuring?? there were no major hiccups during? the chase. In the end, Scotland reached the target with three wickets in hand and 15 balls to spare.

For the West Indies, Holder? and Shepherd managed to pick up a wicket each, but their efforts were not enough to defend the modest total. The rest of t?he bowling attack struggled to make breakthroughs, allowing Scotland to build partnerships and control the game.

Scotland’s triumph in this crucial encounter keeps their hopes alive in the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifiers 2023. On the other hand, it will be the first time in the cricketing history that West Indies won’t feature in the ODI World Cup event.
