The team managed to set a target of over 200 runs. The West Indies Under-19 team performed well with the ball, putting pressure on the Scottish openers and picking up wickets at regular intervals. Isai Thorne was the pick of the bowlers, as he picked up a four-fer.
As for Scotland Under-19, they had a small total on the board, and defending that against the Windies batting up was always going to be difficult. Adi Hegde and Qasim Khan were very economical for them, but the run rate was never a problem for the Windies side. Ruaridh McIntyre, Qasim Khan, Logan Briggs, Ibrahim Faisal, and Adi Hegde picked up a wicket apiece, while Nikhil Koteeswaran and Uzair Ahmad were wicketless. They used a total of seven bowlers throughout their innings. Their bowlers bowled their skins out, but their efforts eventually fell short.
West Indies Under-19 get their first points on their board in this ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup, 2024. At one point, it looked like Scotland would spring a surprise and pull a shocker. West Indies Under-19 started on a brisk note but kept losing wickets at timely intervals. They were 111/5 inside 17 overs. However, Jewel Andrew and Nathan Edward made sure that Scotland did not get a sniff again as they stitched an unbeaten stand of 95 runs to take their side over the line.
