Scotland XI beat Portugal by 6 wickets!
Oli Hairs 39* (16) | Jack Hogarth 4-11 Michael English 33 (12) | Mackenzie Jones 2-16
As was expected, Scotland XI cruised to a comfortable win here today owing to the brilliance shown by their batters in the second innings.
While their bowlers were responsible for putting Portugal on the mat and restricting them to a lowly total, their batters sealed the deal for them in the end thanks to a stupendous performance.
Oli Hairs and Michael English- the openers- tore into the Portuguese bowlers and made the most of the fielding restrictions in the powerplay. Junaid Khan, who was the best bowler for Portugal throughout this tournament, was torn into shreds by both English and Hairs.
Although he did come back strongly to pick up two consecutive wickets in the third over, he could not quite prevent Scotland XI from running away with the victory. They will now meet Germany in the final of Group F.
McBride does it in style for Scotland XI!
6.5 Francoise Stoman to Christopher McBride, SIX! The Scotland XI are through to the final of group F, claiming this contest by 6 wickets! Full, swinging away, McBride gets under this one as well, slashes it with immense timing over deep point, and clears the ropes!
6.4 Francoise Stoman to Christopher McBride, FOUR! Slow drag down on leg stump, McBride helps this one past the fielder at short fine, and finds the boundary!
6.3 Francoise Stoman to Oli Hairs, dropped! Full, on leg stump, Hairs picks it off his pads, but finds the man at short fine, who was late to react. The batters get a run
6.2 Francoise Stoman to Christopher McBride, slower ball, close to the blockhole, drilled towards long off for a run
6.1 Francoise Stoman to Christopher McBride, FOUR! Full outside off, McBride got under the line of the ball, and clubbed it over the bowler's head. The ball bounces just in front of the ropes
Hairs will want to ensure that Scotland XI do not face any more hiccups in this game. Skipper McBride, on the other hand, will want to finish the game off as quickly as possible.

5.6 Francoise Stoman to Oli Hairs, FOUR! Banged in short, Hairs rides the bounce really well, absolutely crunches it towards deep mid wicket, the man out there slid across, but couldn't make the stop

5.4 Francoise Stoman to Christopher McBride, full on off stump, McBride glances this one towards deep mid wicket for a run
Christopher McBride, RHB, is in at 6.
5.3 Francoise Stoman to Callum Garden, OUT! Short of a length delivery outside off, Garden looks to belt this one down the ground, doesn't meet it right and can get it as far as the man running in from long on, who makes no mistake!
Callum Garden c Najam Shahzad b Francoise Stoman 0 (1b 0x4 0x6)
Callum Garden, RHB, is in at 5.
5.2 Francoise Stoman to Taimoor Ahmad, OUT! Banged in short outside off once again, but the pace was there this time. Taimoor goes for the pull, miscues it, the ball balloons towards short mid-off, Stoman went after it himself and grabbed it safely!
Taimoor Ahmad c & b Francoise Stoman 16 (7b 0x4 2x6)
5.1 Francoise Stoman to Taimoor Ahmad, SIX! Belted onto the hoardings at cow corner! Slow short delivery, rising onto the batter well, Taimoor rides the bounce and absolute creams it!
Francoise Stoman, right arm medium, is the new bowler.
Scotland XI need just 23 runs to win this game! They have five overs in which to do so. As long as Hairs is at the crease, they should be able to chase these runs down comfortably.
