Scotland beat Oman by 8 wickets to march into Super 12s.
WHO SAID WHAT?
Kyle Coetzer | Scotland skipper: It’s a great feeling. Congratulations to Zeeshan and Oman, they have been great. It’s the op[portunity to play at the biggest stage and you get to play the best of the best. The follwing back home has been immense. We have been through thick and thin in the last few years and guys have put in a lot of hard work to keep developing their game and the coaching staff has done an excellent job as well. As far as I’m aware, we are going into a slightly tougher team and there’s no reason to fear. It’s gonna be an exciting group, we will go into every game full of hope and will give our best. Someone going and getting a big score, Berrington did that in the last game and I guess we dropped a couple of catches and our bowling up front and at the death has been excellent, Mark Watt has been excellent. We will find time to celebrate just a little bit.
Zeeshan Maqsood | Oman skipper: This is not the end, we will come back strong and work on our strengths. We are not able to put good total on the board and when it’s difficult to defend such a total we ended bowling short and few mistakes like that cost us. It was a tough game for him (Jatinder Singh) unfortunately he got run out and that put a little bit of pressure on others and in the middle overs we didn’t score much and fell short. I feel sorry for Oman and we couldn’t deliver what they were looking for. We are going to Namibia after this and we hope to do well there.
Josh Davey | Man of the Match (4-0-25-3): It’s a great day for Scottish cricket. We have an early flight, so not too much, but there will be some celebration. It was a great occasion to showcase my skills, had some luck with the ball going to the fielders but we’ll take it. The side has a lot of bases covered and the belief is there and we can cause some upset. T20 is about momentum, and if we carry it forward, we can do great things. There are some great teams in Group B and it will be a great opportunity to play against them.
