T20 World Cup: Pakistan thrash Scotland by 72 runs

Pakistan thrashed Scotland by 72 runs in their last game of the Super 12 stage of the ongoing T20 World Cup in Sharjah on Sunday to top the Group 2 points table. After posting a mammoth total of 189/4 from their 20 overs, Pakistan restricted Scotland to 117/6 in 20 overs to clinch a comprehensive victory.

Pakistan on Sunday beat Scotland with 72 runs as the Babar Azam-led team confined the opposing team to 117 runs at the loss of 6 wickets at the end of the 20th over.

Scotland openers George Munsey and Kyle Coetzer proved to be tough nuts to crack for Pakistan's star bowlers as they held on despite a barrage of bouncers delivered by Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
