With the ball, Mark Watt bowled an incredible spell where he gave away just 20 runs but was unlucky not to claim a wicket.

Junaid Siddique was the pick of the bowlers for the UAE as he was able to scalp four wickets and gave away 14 runs in his quota of four overs. Muhammad Waseem destroyed the Scotland bowling attack with a blistering knock of 68 off 43 balls. He stayed till the end to ensure that there were no hiccups in the run-chase.
