T20 World Cup: Scotland & Bangladesh win to reach Super 12s

BBC SPORTS (OCT 22)-Scotland reached the main draw of the T20 World Cup for the first time with an eight-wicket win over Oman.

They chased 123 with three overs to spare in Al Amarat to wrap up a third victory in three games and progress as winners of Group B.

Josh Davey took 3-25 before Kyle Coetzer made 41 and Richie Berrington 31 not out off 21 balls in Al Amarat.

Bangladesh earlier beat Papua New Guinea by 84 runs to secure their spot in the Super 12s.

Berrington hit a six into the stands to seal Scotland’s victory and spark celebrations in the dug-out and among the small section of travelling fans.

Scotland will play India, New Zealand, Pakistan and Afghanistan in Group 2 of the Super 12s.

“What a day that is for Scottish cricket. The boys are absolutely buzzing,” said player of the match Davey.

“There’s a belief within the side. We’re a very strong side – we’ve got a lot of bases covered. We really think we can cause some upsets – and we already have.

“T20 is about momentum, so hopefully we can take that into the next phase.”

Captain Coetzer said: “There’s no reason to fear any games in that group.

“It is going to be tough and an extremely exciting group, but we go into every game full of hope and belief that we are capable of winning.”
