Scotland beat Canada by 170 runs in Cricket World Cup League 2, powered by captain Richie Berrington’s century and a six-wicket debut from spinner Lyle Robertson. The result strengthens Scotland’s position at the top of the standings and underlines their momentum ahead of the World Cup qualifier.

Berrington made 120 in Scotland’s 347-7, his seventh one-day international century, while also setting a Scottish record with 90 ODI sixes. Robertson, 23, took 6-52 as Canada were bowled out for 177 in 35 overs; Scotland had already secured qualification and now lead the table, albeit having played four more matches than the second-placed United States.
