I have high hopes from Scotland but they have not lived up to it and their weakness was due to their match target and if I look at their perform it is very poor which is useless to expect anything from them. They should have defeated this match with a difficult target, they would have defeated it with a good effort but they are losing the match after giving an easy target. Although jersey it was difficult for them too and that is because they have scored 134 runs in the entire 20 overs and this may make Scotland's bowling tough but if they had tried to play better at the end, perhaps this victory could have been achieved. Scotland worst game was their batting because in this they scored only 133 runs while they should have played above 160. The highest run-scorer among the Scotland batsmen is M. Cross who has scored 43 runs.

Before the tournament started, Scotland were the favorites to become the champions. In the end, they finished at the 4th place with just the small island nation of Guernsey behind them. Netherlands escaped the same fate, and they avoided defeats against the weaker teams (they lost one match, and that was against Scotland). But the big news from this tournament was the rise of Italy and Jersey. The presence of Joe Burns (former Australian international) and Emilio Gay (who has represented England A) definitely helped. But most of their players were natives, including the Manenti brothers, Mosca brothers and Marcus Campopiano.
