Group A, Match 4, SA vs SCO: South Africa beat Scotland by 7 wickets
Mar 20, 2007
South Africa won the match against Scotland by 7 wickets. It took Proteas 23.2 overs to achieve the target of 187 runs given to them by the Scots. Captain Graeme Smith led the South African team by example as he bludgeoned the Scottish bowling attack.
South African skipper who seemed to be in a hurry to win the match was caught on short cover by Glenn Rogers as Majid Haq took another wicket. Smith made 91 runs from 65 balls. South African all rounder Ashwell Prince tried to hit the ball down the ground and in the process was caught by Neil McCallum. Prince who made 21 runs drove the ball on Majid Haqs delivery. South Africa captain Graeme Smith appeared to be in a hurry when he scored his 3rd World Cup half century in just 36 balls. Scotland were nothing but competitive when some late blitz by Dougie Brown and John Blain ensured that they post their highest score ever, of 186 for 8, in a World Cup match in their stipulated 50 overs against top ranked side South Africa in the 4th match of Group A at St Kitts on Tuesday.
After some initial hiccups the Scots recovered well, thanks to Browns batting who was undefeated at a personal score of 46 in 64 balls. The last five overs of the Scotland innings saw them score more than 55 runs for the loss of just two wickets.
Reported Earlier: South African captain Graeme Smith called the right side of the coin and invited Scotland to have the first use of the pitch in their Group A match at St Kitts on Tuesday .
Smith said his team would win the match against Scotland to make a tribute to Bob Woolmer. Pakistan coach Woolmer, formerly in charge of South Africa, died in Jamaica on Sunday.

Group A, Match 4, SA vs SCO: South Africa focus on Scots before big test
Mar 20, 2007
Top-ranked South Africa would want to be as ruthless as possible against minnows Scotland before taking on bitter rivals Australia in their crunch World Cup test.
"We are focused on our match against Scotland, because this is the match to play for now," said South African captain Graeme Smith of his team's Group A clash at Warner Park tomorrow. Smith's men know their real challenge will come on March 24 against defending champions Australia whom they displaced as world number one last month. Smith believed his team's emphatic 221-run win over the Netherlands in their first group match last week had given the players a much-needed work out. South Africa Team (from): Graeme Smith (Captain), A.B. de Villiers, Jacques Kallis, Herschelle Gibbs, Ashwell Prince, Justin Kemp, Mark Boucher, Shaun Pollock, Andrew Hall, Andre Nel, Makhaya Ntini.
Scotland Team (from): Fraser Watts, Majid Haq, Navdeep Poonia, Gavin Hamilton, Ryan Watson (Captain), Colin Smith, Dougie Brown, Glenn Rogers, Dewald Nel, Paul Hoffmann, John Blain.
