Malta win by 24 runs

And just like that, Malta register their first win of the tournament, and what an opponent to beat to get there! This almost seemed like the Scotland national team's third choice XI, some of these players might be playing for Scotland in the near future, to beat them by such a tall margin, albeit in the shortest of formats, the Malta players can be very proud of themselves! They should also be proud of how they turned things around after Scotland, thanks to Jack Jarvis, absolutely sped off the blocks! A prospect of a convincing win for the Scotland XI loomed large, as after Bilal's first over, none of the Malta bowlers were able to stem the flow of runs.

It was Varun Prasath with the bat who got Malta to a tall score of 122, and it was Prasath with the ball this time who got the crucial breakthrough of Jarvis, getting him to hole out at cover! Prasath gave only 8 off his first over as the tide began to turn from there. The Scotland XI kept losing wickets one by one, most of their batters holing out in the deep, and when Justin Shaju accounted for Angus Guy, the Scotland captain, and conceded only one off the 7th over of the chase, Malta could smell a victory against the Scottish team! Of course, the bowlers drew motivation from that; Shaju gave a single off his second over as well, one that had two wickets including a sharp return catch, and Scotland were left with 29 to get off the final over from Bilal Khan. Bilal gave only 5 away, and Malta completed a memorable victory in the end!
