-217 Run chase unbeaten 80 anchored Ireland's Niall O'Brien and led them to three-wicket win over Scotland, the second win over the three-year series.
Like the last game against Afghanistan, Ireland found themselves in trouble early in where they were expelled both openers by the second over, with the score at 7. O'Brien, who walked in to bat at No. 4, led by the act to rebuild and hold one end fixed as Ireland seemed to develop strong partnerships. However, Scotland managed to keep chipping away at the wickets, leaving Ireland in 100 for 5 in 23 over. Scotland was fast bowler Ian Wardlaw responsible for most of the damage, dismissing openers Ireland and Kevin O'Brien to return from 3 to 49.
In this regard, however, O'Brien ensure that Ireland did not lose control of the chase. This was followed by 43-term partnership with Andy Balbirnie through the 61-term partnership for the seventh-wicket with John Mooney. O'Brien and Mooney raise Ireland within 13 runs of victory before Mooney out for 36. Ireland crossed the ultimate goal in the 47th over.
The O'Brien roles similar to the role that Matt Machan has played after laying in Scotland to bat. The first two amounts Craig Young yielded two wickets and hit Mooney in the fourth to left Scotland tottering at 17 for 3. Machan and helped the 65-term partnership Berenjton in the side to move the recovery, but the rest of the system can not be Machan did not help build on this position, and two outs operating within a short period of the amounts will not help. After Machan at 86, and was the highest contributor to the outcome in Scotland of 216 for 9 additions - 30, of which 22 were wides - followed in Berenjton 28.
The young people of Ireland the most effective bowler, with three for 27, while Mooney and Kozak picked up two wickets each.
