Cricket World Cup League 2: George Munsey ton in vain as Scotland lose to Netherlands

Scotland failed to chase down a target of 283 against the Netherlands in Cricket World Cup League 2 despite a superb 106 from opener George Munsey.

Having been shocked by United Arab Emirates on Thursday, Richie Berrington’s side came into the contest under pressure to perform.

After choosing to bat first, half-centuries from Max O’Dowd (64), Zach Lion-Cachet (78) and captain Scott Edwards (70) helped the Dutch post 282-7 in their 50 overs.

Sussex seamer Brad Currie finished with bowling figures of 4-52 for Scotland, including three wickets in the final over of the innings.

In reply, the Scots were reduced to 61-3, with Charlie Tear, Brandon McMullen and Berrington all failing to reach double figures.
