India got off to a good start with the ball as Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Scottish skipper Kyle Coetzer for 1. Mohammad Shami, then, removed dangerous-looking George Munsey for 24. Scotland were 27/2 after the powerplay.
Virat Kohli tossed the ball to Ravindra Jadeja for the seventh over. The Indian all-rounder changed the game by taking two wickets in the same over to further deteriorate Scotland’s condition. Jadeja removed in-form Michael Leask as well in the same spell before Ravichandran Ashwin joined the party by dismissing Chris Greaves.
Mohammed Shami, then, bowled an excellent 17th over. He removed Calum MacLeod’s stumps on the first ball with a pin-perfect yorker. On the next ball, Safyaan Sharif ran for a non-existent single and Ishan Kishan gathered the ball and ran the distance to dislodge the bails. Shami was breathing fire and rattled the stumps of Alasdair Evans on the third ball to sink Scotland to 81/9. With this wicket, India completed a team hat-trick.
