“It was pretty special, I can’t remember as important a partnership as that,” said the Ireland captain Andy Balbirnie, whose side badly needed the points after kicking off their campaign with defeat by Zimbabwe. “All year we’ve played pretty good cricket and games we’ve been out of, we’ve been throwing punches. To get over the line with a punch thrown is great. It was a special knock from Curtis and from George as well.
A sparkling 86 from opener Michael Jones helped Scotland post 176 for five after they won the toss and chose to bat first. After humbling two-time champions West Indies in their opening match, Scotland made a shaky start, but a 77-run third-wicket stand between Jones and captain Richie Berrington helped them lay the foundation.
