Filed Under Cricket by admin | Leave a Comment
The cricket season drew to a close this quarter, with a final One Day International match at Citylets Titwood in Glasgow. A rain spattered day saw CricketScotland beaten by India by seven wickets with Scotland posting 203 for nine in 46 overs while India triumphed with 212 for 3.
This game made history as it was the first Scotland match outside of the Cricket World Cup to be televised at screens across the nation and Asian subcontinent. The home team continued to impress as they scored the same against India as they recorded against Pakistan last summer in 4 fewer overs. The sell-out game at the Clydesdale Cricket ground drew a crowd of nearly 3000 spectators and was enjoyed by the large Indian community in Glasgow. Ryan Watson, the captain of the Scottish team reckoned his team scored a “competitive total” against the top-five country and complimented the Indian side on their “class batsmen.” 
Thomas Ashdown, Citylets Managing Director, was delighted to present the Citylets Lifetime Achievement Award to John Gray, secretary for the Shetland Cricket Association in the lunch time break. Thomas announced that Citylets were, “delighted to be involved in sponsoring CricketScotland during this important period of their development.”
