KING CITY, Canada: Scotland, led by fine bowling performances from left-arm spinner Ross Lyons and seamer Dewald Nel, bowled out Canada for 130 to claim an innings and 165-run win during the third day of their Intercontinental Cup match in King City.

Canada resumed on 36 for 2, needing a further 259 runs to make Scotland bat again. However, their hopes suffered an early blip when Nel struck twice in successive overs, removing Qaiser Ali for 4, and Arvind Kandappah for no score.

Sandeep Jyoti and Abdool Samad then put on 39 for the fifth wicket, the best partnership of the match for Canada. Once Samad was stumped off Lyons for 18, the home side veered off track by losing wickets regularly.

With victory in sight, Scotland were made to wait by a 21-run eight-wicket stand between Saad Bin Zafar and Sami Faridi which took up 75 deliveries. Lyons and Nel both finished with seven-wicket match hauls, but the Man-of-the-Match award was reserved for wicketkeeper Douglas Lockhart, whose 151 laid the foundation for Scotland’s win.
