A rather easy victory in the end for New Zealand as they cantered home by 7 wickets. It was a good batting display by Scotland when they were sent in by McCullum, as they posted a good total of 89 in this truncated match. New Zealand started the chase well and with Ryder and the skipper in full flow and a late onslaught by Taylor they achieve the target with an over to spare.
Butler: We were just trying to restrict the boundaries. The next game is a massive one for us.
McCullum: At half time we were obviously pretty nervous. Full credit to the way they batted. When you're chasing a total that big, you haven't got anytime to get yourselves in. Jesse hit the ball incredibly well. We saw how dangerous our batting can be.
Gavin Hamilton: We weren't upto it in the field. We had a plan in terms of coming out in the second half but we didn't put it together. I'm not going to criticize our bowlers.
