| 0.6 : 0.6: Jasprit Bumrah to George Munsey, SIX! What a shot that is! A brilliant stroke. Full ball, on the pads. Munsey whips it very, very hard. The ball goes over the square leg fence. |
| 1.5 : 1.5: Varun Chakravarthy to George Munsey, FOUR! Great execution! Tossed up, on off. George Munsey plays the reverse sweep. The ball goes past first slip and runs past short third man. Boundary. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Kyle Coetzer, OUT! BOWLED! Jasprit Bumrah gives the first gift to Virat Kohli on the Indian skipper's birthday! Fuller ball, on off. It is a slower one too. Kyle Coetzer is way early in the drive. The ball takes the inside edge and backs onto hit the stumps. |
| 3.4 : 3.4: Ravichandran Ashwin to George Munsey, FOUR! Hammered! Tossed up, on off. Munsey backs away and smacks it past mid off for a boundary. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: Ravichandran Ashwin to George Munsey, FOUR! Munsey does it! He goes for the reverse sweep and plays it well. The ball goes over point and runs to the fence. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: Ravichandran Ashwin to George Munsey, FOUR! And again! Not quite from the middle of the bat but it goes to the fence. Tossed up, on off. Munsey goes for the reverse sweep but gets the top edge. The ball goes over short third man and runs to the fence. |
| 5.2 : 5.2: Mohammed Shami to George Munsey, OUT! TAKEN! Straight to the fielder at mid on! A full ball, on middle. George Munsey tries to go over mid on but gets the toe end of his bat. Hits it straight to Hardik Pandya at mid on who takes a good catch. Munsey was looking in good touch but failed to convert his innings into a big one. |
| 6.3 : 6.3: Ravindra Jadeja to Richie Berrington, OUT! TIMBER! Ripper from Jadeja and now he earns himself a wicket! This one does not go with the angle and straightens up after landing on middle and leg. Richie Berrington tries to defend but does so inside the line of the ball. He gets beaten on the outside edge and the ball disturbs the middle stump. India in perfect control early on. |
| 6.6 : 6.6: Ravindra Jadeja to Matthew Cross, OUT! LBW! Another one bites the dust! A flatter ball, on a length and on middle. Cross stays back and tries to flick but misses and gets hit on the pads. An appeal and up goes the finger. Cross has a long chat with Calum MacLeod before going for a review. No bat there and three reds mean Jadeja has two wickets in his first over. Scotland lose their review. Michael Leask walks out to bat now. |
| 9.3 : 9.3: Varun Chakravarthy to Michael Leask, FOUR! Top shot! Loopy ball, on off. Leask gets low and sweeps it well. The ball goes between fine leg and deep square leg for a boundary. |
| 10.2 : 10.2: Mohammed Shami to Michael Leask, SIX! All the way! The edge takes the ball all the way! Short ball, on off. Leask looks to pull but gets the top edge. He gets a healthy edge and the ball sails over the fine leg fence. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: Mohammed Shami to Michael Leask, FOUR! Smacked! This is a clean strike! Full, on off. Leask hits it straight down the ground for a boundary. |
| 11.2 : 11.2: Ravindra Jadeja to Michael Leask, OUT! LBW! That is as plumb as it gets! The man who was getting the boundaries for Scotland goes back to the hut. Tossed up, on off. Michael Leask looks to sweep but misses. The ball hits his pads right in the front of the stumps and the umpire raises the finger right away. |
| 13.4 : 13.4: Ravichandran Ashwin to Chris Greaves, OUT! TAKEN! Greaves's struggle ends! He played just the 7 balls but tried far too many shots in those 7 and now falls. Steps out but does not get to the pitch of it. It seems like yet another carrom ball by Ashwin. Lands on off and then holds its line. Greaves looks to go big but this goes more off the outer part of the bat and down towards long off. Pandya makes no mistake. 100 looks far away now. |
| 14.4: Ravindra Jadeja to Mark Watt, FOUR! Not a good effort in the field there! Short and outside off, Watt hangs back and slaps it through covers. This one is racing away from Shami. He makes good ground to his left, does get there, gets down to pick it up but fails to do so. Welcome boundary. |
| 15.1 : 15.1: Ravichandran Ashwin to Mark Watt, EDGY FOUR! Scotland won't mind how they come as long as they do. Watt comes down the track and Ashwin fires it outside off. Watt reaches out for it, it goes off the outside edge down to third man for a boundary. |
| 16.1: Mohammed Shami to Calum MacLeod, OUT! TIMBER! Calum MacLeod is out of here and Shami gets his second with a corker of a yorker. Scotland would have loved for Calum MacLeod to hang in there till the end. He is arguably their last recognized batter. Full and on off. MacLeod looks to whip it across the line but misses. The ball hits the off pole. |
| 16.2 : 16.2: Mohammed Shami to Safyaan Sharif, OUT! RUN OUT! Two in two for India! Safyaan Sharif was probably worried about the LBW appeal! This is full again and on the pads. Sharif looks to flick but misses. It hits the pad. A huge appeal but turned down. The ball rolls towards mid-wicket. Sharif takes off and he is ball watching. His partner is not interested at all. Sharif is halfway down. Kishan picks the ball up and calmly runs towards the stumps at the keeper's end and whips the bails off. |
| 16.3 : 16.3: Mohammed Shami to Alasdair Evans, OUT! KABOOM! Yet another corker of a yorker and it is way too good for Evans who is a number 10 batter. A team hat-trick then for India! This is a toe-crusher. Evans is late in getting his bat down. It hits the toe and then deflects onto the stumps. Can the innings end in this over itself? |
| 17.4 : 17.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Mark Watt, OUT! BOWLED! There comes the last wicket! Watt shuffles to the off side but Bumrah fires a yorker at the base of the stumps. Watt looks to scoop but is beaten and the ball hits the stumps. Scotland are bowled out for 85! |
| 0.5 : 0.5: Mark Watt to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Up and over! No one in the deep there and Rohit bags his and India's first boundary! Rohit gives himself room. Watt bowls it fuller and outside off, it is lofted over covers for a boundary. |
| 1.2 : 1.2: Brad Wheal to KL Rahul, FOUR! That is glorious! So nonchalant! He hits his first boundary! Trademark Rahul! Fuller and on middle, angling into the batter. Rahul shows the maker's name as he lofts it with a straight bat and over mid on for a boundary. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: Brad Wheal to KL Rahul, FOUR! Not sure it was where Rahul wanted it to go but it is the result he desired. Angled into the pads, Rahul is early in the flick, it goes more off the toe-end through mid-wicket. Boundary. |
| 1.5 : 1.5: Brad Wheal to KL Rahul, FOUR! Does find the boundary this time! On the leg side through, third in the over! Angled into the pads, Rahul waits a little and then whips it behind square on the leg side. |
| 2.1 : 2.1: Alasdair Evans to KL Rahul, FOUR! That is a hit-me ball! With no protection on the off side, he goes full and outside off. Rahul lofts it over covers for a boundary. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: Alasdair Evans to KL Rahul, SIX! Into the crowd! The Scotland pacers are clueless as to where to bowl to Rahul! He went outside off on the last ball and got hit over covers, this time he looks to tuck him up and bowl it on the body. Rahul whips it over the square leg fence for a biggie. India well on course to chase it down within 7 overs. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: Alasdair Evans to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Once again a little too full and he goes for a boundary. Fuller and on off, Sharma at the end, just opens the face of the bat and manages to lift it over extra cover. Boundary. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Safyaan Sharif to Rohit Sharma, SIX! BOOM! There it goes! Length ball, on off. Rohit Sharma gets in position and heaves it way, way over the mid-wicket fence. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Safyaan Sharif to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Carved away! Full ball, outside off. Rohit Sharma nicely carves it over cover for another boundary. India are racing away towards the target. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: Safyaan Sharif to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Way too easy for Rohit Sharma! Full ball, on the pads. He flicks it to the mid-wicket fence. 50 up for India now. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Brad Wheal to KL Rahul, FOUR! Through the gap! Full ball, on off. Rahul drives it through the gap at covers for a boundary. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: Brad Wheal to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Another boundary for India! Short again, on off. This time, Rohit Sharma pulls it. The ball goes over mid on and runs to the fence. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: Brad Wheal to KL Rahul, SIX! Over the fielder! Short ball and Rahul pulls it. He does not middle it though. The ball goes to deep square leg. The fielder leaps up but the ball goes just over him. |
| 4.6 : 4.6: Brad Wheal to Rohit Sharma, OUT! LBW! A screeching yorker and a consolation wicket for Scotland! Right on the off pole. Sharma looks to get his bat down but he is not quick enough. The ball hits the boot and the umpire raises the finger right away. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: Mark Watt to KL Rahul, FOUR! Thrashed! Full toss, on off. Rahul smacks it past the diving mid off fielder for a boundary. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: Mark Watt to KL Rahul, SIX! Helped on its way! Darted down the leg side. Rahul gets low and sweeps it over the fine leg fence. |
| 5.6 : 5.6: Mark Watt to KL Rahul, OUT! TAKEN! A marvelous, marvelous knock by KL Rahul ends! Tossed up on leg. He looks to heave it down the ground but does not middle it. The ball goes high in the air to long on. Calum MacLeod settles under it and takes it. |
| 6.3 : 6.3: Chris Greaves to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX! Suryakumar Yadav finishes things off in style. A full ball, on middle. Yadav lofts it high and handsomely straight down the ground for a biggie. INDIA WIN BY 8 WICKETS. |
