There was dramatic action elsewhere in the World Cricket League as Scotland edged to a thrilling last-ball victory over arch-rivals Ireland on day two.

While Bermuda's opener may have been far from close this Celtic derby proved to be an early contender for game of the tournament.

With national coach Gus Logie in the stands, Ireland provided a potent reminder of the immense firepower Bermuda will come up against when the two sides clash later today.

An impressive 116 from Australian-born opener Jeremy Bray, supplemented by a run-a-ball 41 from highly rated Middlesex youngster Eoin Morgan and a late thrash from seamer Trent Johnston, propelled the Irish to an impressive 280 for seven in their 50 overs.

At 144 for six the game looked to be up for Scotland. But a battling, brutal 92-ball century from Neil McCallum put them back in the game.

And once McCallum had departed skipper Craig Wright and Colin Smith picked up where he left off, bludgeoning 45 from the last five overs.

It was Wright that sealed the victory clattering a full toss from Kevin O'Brien for four from the final ball.

Logie, who was checking out both teams ahead of the rest of the competition, said it was a thrilling match between two tough teams.

The same could not be said of the day's other match between Netherlands and Canada, which ended in a comfortable eight-wicket win for the Dutch.

Canada were bowled out for 200 with only Indian born wicket-keeper/batsman Ashish Bagai coming to the party with an accomplished knock of 74.

The Dutch, led once again by the superb South-African born Essex batsman Ryan ten Doeschate (37*) and opener Bas Zuiderent (77*) cruised to their 201 victory target with 15 overs to spare.

Those games and Kenya's crushing ten wicket victory over Bermuda mean each of the teams has now played one game each in the competition.

And on the evidence of the opening stages Bermuda has a lot of work to do to avoid the unenviable wooden spoon.[[In-content Ad]]
