...Presentation next...
West Indies were just broken down as they just couldn't put a stand together. It came in late with Jason Holder and Romario Shepherd but that was never enough as West Indies ended with a way below-par score. Scotland took the traditional route. They were not much aggressive as they needed the two points dearly. For West Indies, a win was important to keep the hopes alive but this just puts the story to the bed. West Indies are out of the race for the World Cup.
A comfortable win for Scotland! For West Indies, they have missed out on the ticket to India for the World Cup. Hard to digest this one. Once who ruled the cricketing world will be out of international tournament this year. Scotland won it with the ball. They were just outstanding as they gave away no freebies anytime of the innings. Brandon McMullen started with the ball and late with a fine fifty helped to chase it down. It was made too easy by West Indies for Scotland.
