“Positives with the bat, I thought Jones was superb all through the innings, the others chipped in and I was happy with the final score though I thought we did miss out on a few runs towards the end. The aim was to take early wickets and put them under pressure, but credit to Campher and Dockrell for that flawless partnership, they took the game away from us.
We have learnt from last year, we found ourselves in a similar situation there as well. We will take a day off tomorrow and refocus on the next game,” Berrington said in a post-match presentation.

Skipper Berrington also played a knock of 37 off 27 balls.
Medium-pace bowling all-rounder Curtis Campher (2/9) shined for Ireland with the ball. Joshua Little and Mark Adair took a wicket each. Chasing 177, Ireland was struggling at 61/4, but a match-winning 119-run stand between Campher (72* off 32 balls with seven fours and two sixes) and Dockrell (39* off 27 balls) took Ireland to a memorable six-wicket win.
Mark Watt, Brad Wheal, Safyaan Sharif and Michael Leask took a wicket for Scotland. Campher was the ‘Man of the Match’ for his all-round performance.
