The eighth match of the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 saw Scotland take on Canada at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Friday (March 1). Scotland posted a reasonable total of 215 runs in the first innings but it didn't prove enough in the end.
Opener George Munsey played a handy knock of 68 off 101 balls, while Michael Leask made a vital contribution of 40 off 44 deliveries. But other than that, there wasn't any useful contribution at all.

Aaron Johnson played a blistering knock of 43 off 28 balls, while Srimantha Wijeyeratne (56 off 87) also showcased his prowess with the bat. Later, Pargat Singh guided the team home with an unbeaten knock of 87 off 99 balls.
