Toss: Bangladesh
Scotland: 141/7 in 20 overs

Scotland's Inning: Like the previous match, speedster Rubel Hossain was fantastic with the ball in hand today. He took 5 wickets giving away just 16 runs. Mahmudullah Riad (29 runs) and Mashrafe Mortaza (21 runs) took one wicket each. Even though GM Hamilton (45 in 41) and NFI McCullum (50 in 37) batted strongly, rest of them just couldn't manage to bat very well.
Bangladesh's inning: Suhrawardi Shuvo (1 in 7) and Tamim Iqbal (33 in 21) came to open the inning for Bangladesh. But Shuvo soon got out when the team total was 23. Next the star of the previous match Tiger Captain Mohammad Ashraful (3 in 7) also got out without leaving much impression on the game. Apart from them evryone batted quite well. Shakib (36 in 29), Riad (46* in 35), Raqibul Hasan (15* in 14) helped Bangladesh to achieve this victory agaisnt Scotland. On behalf of Scotland Drummond, Nel, Stander and Watson took one wicket each.
The next practice match of Bangladesh is against Australia.
This was the 2nd victory achieved by Bangladesh in 3 practice matches. The only practice match which they lost was against New Zealand, but no hard feelings for that, as the black caps had to struggle to achieve the victory. Bangladesh Cricket Team will play 2 more warm up matches before the actual tournament begins. The performance of Mahmudullah Riad, both with the bat and the ball, is something other teams should be aware of.
All the best.

**NOTICE: Recently I have noticed that a website is stealing from my blog and publishing the match reviews exactly the same. They are not even linking back to my blog. I am a devoted blogger and i spent hours collecting info and putting together a post. I feel really bad when someone steals from me and publishes the same content as if it belongs to them. I am not announcing the name of the site (because I am not a fowl person) right now. I request that website to stop this injustice and remove the article which was stolen from here.**
