Scotland give West Indies a scare

Thu, Feb 12, '15

Scotland nearly upset West Indies in their chase of 314 in the warm-up match at the SCG, and fell short by three runs despite needing 14 runs from the last two overs with four wickets in hand. Opener Kyle Coetzer led Scotland's chase with 96 runs, followed by Richie Berrington's 44-ball 66. Once Berrington was run out in the 49th over, Scotland lost two more wickets in the next six balls, as Kemar Roach defended 12 runs off the last over.

Scotland carried their form after thrashing Ireland by 179 runs in their first warm-up and West Indies were coming after a nine-wicket loss to England three days ago.
