USA make Cricket World Cup move after win against Scotland

ABERDEEN: The United States of America have given their Cricket World Cup qualification hopes a huge boost after a thrilling two-wicket win over Scotland in Aberdeen.

Needing 22 off the final nine deliveries at Mannofield Park, Jaskaran Malhotra took charge, importantly keeping the strike for the final over to wrestle victory. Scurrying for a winning single off the penultimate ball, Malhotra's partner Jessy Singh won a footrace against Safyaan Sharif, with the Scottish quicks underarm throw not in time to run Singh out.

The win moves the Americans above UAE in third place on the League 2 table, and in an automatic qualification spot for next year's Cricket World Cup Qualifier for India 2023. IANS
