T20 World Cup: Scotland brought up the first 200-plus total of this edition of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup and notched up 207 runs at the loss of four wickets against Italy in the Group C match here at the iconic Eden Gardens.

In the process, Scotland became the first associate nation to put up a 200 plus total in World Cups, courtesy of George Munsey (84), Brandon McMullen (41) and Michael Leask’s (22 not out) fiery knocks.

Scotland produced a dominant batting display after being put in to bat by Italy, firmly took control of the contest, and scored 49 runs in the mandatory powerplay, then accelerated sharply through the middle overs, reflected in a healthy run rate of 9.56.
