Top 5 individual ODI scores by associate batsmen

#2 Callum MacLeod, 175 vs Canada at Christchurch, 2014

MacLeod’s 175 is the highest individual score by a Scottish batsman in ODI cricket

Callum MacLeod is our second Scot in this list due to his mammoth innings of 175 against Canada at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch. It was Scotland’s final group game of the first round of the 2015 World Cup qualifiers. Put into field first, Scotland did not have the best of starts as they lost opener Matthew Cross in the fifth over.

However, MacLeod and Matt Machan solidified the Scottish batting with their sensible batting, piling up 144 runs for the second wicket before the latter got dismissed for 68. MacLeod was well set and he began to go for the big shots and kept on punishing the Canadian bowlers time and again.

He eventually scored a career-best 175 off 141 deliveries, hitting 14 boundaries and five sixes. Scotland’s innings ended at 341/9 at the end of 50 overs and the total was simply too much for the Canadians to handle as they were skittled for 171.

MacLeod was presented with the Man of the Match for his innings which is the highest individual score by a Scotland batsman in ODIs.
