Coetzer Scotland hundred up to record score
Scotland Vs Bangladesh
Coetzer crashed the first hundred by a batsman Scotland in the World Cups |
Kyle Coetzer (156Runs Of 134 balls ,17Fours,4Sixes) crashed the first hundred by a batsman Scotland in the World Cup to help side of Preston Mommsen post a daunting target against a rather small team Bangaldesh. Coetzer became the first player from Scotland to score a hundred in a World Cup, but the punishment dealt to Bangladesh did not end there. Tickets Captain Preston Mommsen (39) was quick and appropriate for the European side, who have never won a World Cup match, while Coetzer continued to rake in record with some impressive strokeplay. The right-hander smashed a fabulous 156 to help post Scotland in excess of 300 - the first time they have done in ODIs against a Test playing nation.
The field may have been one favoring the hitters, but players slower bowling Bangladesh were surprisingly not incisive, leaving Scotland scoring freely and get into a position of strength. Up to seven bowlers in short periods, were used by Captain Bangladesh, but none of them managed to make a significant impact. Bangladesh plans were hampered with Anamul Haque suffering a suspected dislocated shoulder while trying to field the ball and unfitness Mashrafe Mortaza, who took him to clutch his ankle and fell to the ground many times over the course of the inputs.
The option to field first, Bangladesh, who had brought in Nasir Hossain to Mominul Haque, made a bright start with Calum MacLeod fall into the third charge of shifts to Mushrafe Mortaza, offering an easy prey to Mahmudullah in point. Bangladesh sprung a surprise by opting to return from the beginning, and Shakib Al Hasan did a good job giving away just six runs in the first three overs spell.
Once the medium Pacers were again, Scotland began to hurry, with Hamish Gardiner hitting three to four feet in quick succession. However, Taskin Ahmed hit against the run of play as Gardiner had done was captured by 19. Coetzer, who had suffered a nervous start until then, began to arrive at their own soon after.
With Matt Machan for the company, the duo set about the task of repair and in fine fashion. Machan showed it to work using his feet and effortless trimming Mahmudullah six of the fifth installment he faced, while Coetzer almost pulled referee Bruce Oxenford, who was celebrating his 55th birthday with a brutal pull two more extensions later
