In a commanding performance at the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 tri-series held at Forthill, Scotland triumphed over Canada by an impressive 170 runs. Captain Richie Berrington led the charge with a stellar 120 runs, while debutant Lyle Robertson made waves with a remarkable bowling display.

Scotland set a formidable target, posting 347-7 in their allotted 50 overs. Key contributions included:

• Brandon McMullen: 64 runs
• Matthew Cross: 51 not out
• Michael Jones: 41 runs
  Berrington's innings featured four sixes, marking his seventh one-day international century and setting a new Scottish record for the most sixes, surpassing George Munney's previous record of 87.

In response, Canada struggled, managing only 177 runs in 35 overs. Pargat Singh was the standout for Canada with 42 runs, but the team faltered against Robertson's exceptional bowling. The 23-year-old claimed 6 wickets for 52 runs, including a five-wicket haul within his final 15 deliveries, showcasing his potential for a permanent spot in the squad.

Scotland's victory not only secured their place in the World Cup qualifier but also solidified their position at the top of the World Cup League 2 standings, following a recent win over the United Arab Emirates. As they continue to build momentum, Scotland looks poised for further success in the tournament.
