T20 WC: ‘Getting 3 Of Their Right-handers Out Was Most Important,’ Says Scotland’s Michael Leask After 4-17 Against Italy
T20 World Cup: Scotland all-rounder Michael Leask concluded a memorable day at Eden Gardens by being named Player of the Match in his team's 73-run victory over debutants Italy during Monday’s Group C match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. After the game, he acknowledged that he expects some teasing from his teammates for bowling to right-handed batters, but taking out three of their right-handers was likely the most crucial achievement.
Leask delivered a standout all-round performance, ripping through Italy’s middle order with figures of 4-17, the third-best bowling figures by an associate nation bowler in Men’s T20 World Cup history, and later smashed an unbeaten 22 off just five balls in the final over of Scotland’s innings to propel them past the 200-run mark.
Reflecting on the win, Leask was quick to credit the collective effort behind Scotland’s first victory of the tournament.
