Clydesdale lift the Cup (Cricket Scotland)
The Clydesdale batters found the going tough against defending champions Heriots, bowled out for just 104 inside 32 overs. Leg-spinner James Dickenson and slow left-armer Mark Watt revelling in the spin friendly conditions after 6’9’’ seamer Adrian Neill had made the early breakthrough. Heriots batters not finding it any easier Adil Ghaffar with two early wickets - one that kept low and one the bounced! Ghaffar took 6-25 in their semi-final and now a third today as Matty Cross edges behind for just 4. Nightmare as Elliott edges to slip next ball from Alavala. It's spin that did the job for Heriots but seam is doing the business for Clydesdale. Two in two balls for Zac Rahman and it's looking bleak for the holders with Peter Ross hanging on giving them a chance but he's gone with 22 still needed. All over when Zac Rahman claims his fourth. Neither side was able to come to terms with a pitch that was hardly fitting for Scotland's showpiece.

Max O'Dowd: The evolution to a process driven approach
Max O'Dowd is an opening batsman for the Netherlands who has quietly gone about fashioning a strong record across all three formats. He grabbed the headlines earlier this year when he guided the Dutch home in a monstrous chase of 370 against Scotland in an ODI in Dundee. Opening the innings, he made an unbeaten 158 from just 130 balls to take his team to victory with four balls remaining and four wickets in hand.
