U15 European Championships: Scotland v Denmark, 23 July 2009

Hosts Scotland eased to a comfortable seven wicket win over Denmark at Largo. Chasing a moderate Danish total of just 128, the Scots took just 23.3 overs to reach their target.

Danial Chaudhry top-scored with a well-composed half-century before being run out with just five runs needed. His knock included eight boundaries, and occupied just 62 balls. He dominated stands of 43 with Ross McLean (19), and 53 with Nicholas Farrar (18).

Denmark used no fewer than ten bowlers in an attempt to capture wickets, but only Saad Ahmad (1-26), and Mukarram Hussain (1-12) were successful.

In the Danish innings, Laraib Ahmad (25*), Osman Ali (22), and Fazan Ahmed (20), all got starts, but nobody was able to build the substantive innings required to post a more challenging total.

The Scottish bowlers all stuck to their task well, with Lyle Hill (2-12), Danial Chaudhry (2-14), George Buchanan-Smith (2-26), and Nicholas Farrar (2-29) the main wicket-takers.
