Scotland tumble records in League 2 clash against Netherlands
Utrecht, May 17 (UNI) Scotland batters wreaked havoc against Netherlands at the SV Kampong Cricket here to post the highest-ever ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 total. Powered by tons from Brandon McMullen and Richie Berrington, the Scots posted a mammoth 380/9 off their 50 overs - surpassing the previous record set by UAE (348/3) against Namibia in Sharjah from back in 2022. The total is also the highest-ever by Scotland in their ODI history, surpassing their effort against England in 2018 - 371/5. Being put in to bat first by Netherlands, Scotland lost opener Charlie Tear early in the powerplay as Kyle Klein struck with the new ball. George Munsey (80) then combined alongside Brandon McMullen (101) to stitch a 108-run partnership for the second wicket. Klein then provided a second breakthrough to send Munsey on his way, an ICC report said. However, the Scotland caravan kept rolling as Richie Berrington joined McMullen in the middle, adding another 131 runs for the third wicket as the duo went on to forge centuries. The duo combined for a total of 15 boundaries and nine maximums for the Scots. Wicketkeeper-batter Matthew Cross also contributed with a handy cameo to help Scotland close their innings on a high note. Scotland are currently placed fourth in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2, while the Netherlands are at the top of the eight-team standings. UNI BM
