With 278 runs needed to win, Uzzair Shah (17) and Ben Davidson (18) combined for a 35-run stand at the top of the order to get Scotland off to a composed start before the latter fell to Dilshan Madushanka (2/26).

Tom Mackintosh (4) and Uzzair Shah both fell inside 10 overs, before Angus Guy (31) and Ben Davidson (20) put on a 42-run stand to steady the run chase and take the Scots to 95/4 in the 26th over.

Scotland then lost 4 wickets for 45 runs before the lightning hit North West University Oval, with Chamidu Wijesinghe taking 3/31 by the time the weather hit.

With umpires deciding no further play was possible, Scotland ended their innings on 149/8.
