Al Emirates (Oman). Scotland started with a win in the T20 World Cup and also made a big upset by defeating Bangladesh. Terming it as ‘unbelievable’, the winning hero Chris Greaves said that Sunday was his day and expressed hope that his team will be able to maintain its momentum in the upcoming matches. Scotland had lost its 6 wickets for just 53 runs but then Greaves took it to a challenging score. Greaves scored 45 runs and then also took two important wickets, so that Bangladesh could only manage 134 runs for 7 wickets while chasing the target of 141 runs.
Greaves, who was the man of the match, said, ‘It was a great match. Today was my day. Next will be the day of any player of our team. I am very happy that I contributed to the team’s victory. He added, ‘It’s unbelievable. There’s a lot to be said. Right now just enjoying it and focusing on one match at a time. Hopefully many more days will come like this.
Scotland captain Kyle Coetzer said it showed his team can win anywhere. “We have a lot of faith in our players and every one of us has the ability to play long shots, as Chris Greaves and lastly Josh Davy showed. This shows that we can win matches anywhere.
Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah said that the target of 140 runs could have been achieved but the slow batting in the middle overs weighed the team down. He said, ‘The wicket was good and the score of 140 runs could have been achieved. We could not score runs fast in the middle overs. The bowlers played their part well but the batting was not good. Credit goes to their (Scotland) batsmen who took the team to a good score.
