The second leg of the Scottish section of the ICC men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 tournament has begun poorly for the United Arab Emirates. On a blustery day in Aberdeen where a long pause in the game was caused by both sight screens being blown down so violently that thy snapped in half, the United States of America, got their first win in their last four games and inflicted the UAE to their second successive loss to the Yanks.
Monak Patel’s score of 85 from 98 balls provided the spine
to the USA’s chase of 253 that went right down to the wire. A late cluster of
wickets where the States went from 231-5 to 250-9 made it riskier than they
would have liked but the tail had just enough to hold it together.
The game’s continue throughout next week with Scotland
versus America the next fixture on Saturday.
