Scoreboard<\/a><\/p>\n

Scotland beat United Arab Emirates by one wicket as Jasper Davidson struck the winning boundary with just one ball to spare in a dramatic finish to their Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 Tri-Series match in Dundee.<\/b><\/p>\n

It came two days after a nine-run win over Canada at the same Forthill venue sealed their place at next year’s World Cup Qualifier.<\/p>\n

This time the hosts were set a target of 231, with wicketkeeper and opener Adeeb Usmani scoring an impressive 116, including three sixes and 11 fours, after the visitors were put into bat and made their total for the loss of eight wickets.<\/p>\n

With experienced batsmen George Munsey and Brandon McMullen – the pick of the bowlers earlier with 3-30 – falling for ducks, the Scots looked in trouble at 2-2. <\/p>\n

But Finlay McCreath (28) and Richie Berrington (39) steadied the ship and while Michael Jones (44) and Matthew Cross (66) put on 72 for the fifth wicket, it could not prevent a grandstand finish.<\/p>\n

It was down to Davidson to hit the winning boundary off the penultimate ball after running two to level the scores off the previous delivery, with his match-winning shot leaving Scotland on 235-9.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
