India vs Scotland ODI Match at Glasgow
IND v SCO ODI, Glasgow: India hammer Scotland in the first ever ODI between the two
Aug 16, 2007
India completed an effortless transition from Test to one-day international mode as they cruised to a comfortable seven-wicket win against Scotland at Titwood, Glasgow.
Chasing a revised Duckworth-Lewis target of 209 in 46 overs, the issue was virtually settled when openers Robin Uthappa and Gautam Gambhir compiled a century stand in 20 overs. Uthappa, who scored 97 against Scotland at the Youth World Cup three years ago, punished them again on his way to a fluent 55. Man-of-the-match Gambhir finished unbeaten on 85 from 115 balls with eight boundaries and a six. The India skipper starred as overseas professional for the Saltires in 2003 and his cameo appearance was appreciated by the enthusiastic Glasgow crowd before his second boundary carried the tourists to victory with 37 balls to spare.
India fielded just three of the side which completed their Test series win against England at the Oval on Monday. Reported Earlier :After the dream Test series victory against Michael Vaughans England, a buoyant Team India would like to utilise its maiden one-dayer against Scotland on Thursday to get into the ODI mode before the seven-match ODI series against England starting next week. In contrast, Scotland will look forward to the game as a good learning curve as it tests itself against a fancied opponent in India. However, the one-off tie would be at the mercy of the rain gods with the weathermen predicting rain.
Just before the series against England, India redeemed itself in the shorter version of the game after the horrors of the World Cup when it defeated South Africa to win the trophy in Ireland. Scotland has summoned all their top players who were busy doing duty in the English county.
