ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 tri-series, Forthill

Scotland 347-7 (50 overs): Berrington 120, McMullen 64, Cross 51, Jones 41; Shirzad 4-60

Canada 177 (35 overs): P. Singh 42; Robertson 6-52

Scotland win by 170 runs

Scorecard

Captain Richie Berrington and debutant Lyle Robertson starred as Scotland enjoyed a thumping 170-run Cricket World Cup League 2 victory over Canada at Forthill.

Berrington, 39, hit an impressive 120 as the hosts posted an imposing total of 347 from their 50 overs before Falkland off-spinner Robertson ripped through Canada's batting order, taking six wickets for 52 runs.

Berrington's seventh one-day international century included four sixes, taking his overall haul to 90 - a new Scottish record, overtaking George Munsey's 87.

Brandon McMullen (64) shared a third-wicket partnership of 140 with his captain after the departure of openers Finlay McCreath and Michael English had Scotland on 25-2 in the seventh over.

Michael Jones and Matthew Cross kept up the brisk run rate with knocks of 41 and 51 not out respectively and Jack Jarvis added 30 from 14 balls for a 347-7 total.

Berrington was also involved as Canada lost their first wicket in the third over of their reply, taking a catch from the bowling of Mark Watt.

Pargat Singh (42) was the only Canadian batter to offer any meaningful resistance as Robertson staked his claim for a regular place in the Scotland side.

The 23-year-old picked up his first international wicket as Harsh Thaker picked out Oliver Davidson on the midwicket boundary and his day got even better as he took five scalps from his final 15 deliveries to finish with remarkable figures.

After dismissing Shreyas Movva and Zahid Shirzad in successive balls for his five-wicket haul, Robertson had number 11 Kaleem Sana in his sights for a hat-trick.

That particular feat was not to be, but Robertson ripped one back through bat and pad with the last ball of his spell to seal a massive win and cap a dream debut.

Scotland were already assured of place in the World Cup qualifier after last week's win over the same opponents.

Having beaten the United Arab Emirates on Sunday, the defending champions are now top of the World Cup League 2 standings, although they have played four more matches than the United States, who sit two points behind.
