England 404 for 6 (Mayes 191, Moores 81, Woodhouse 3-88) beat Scotland 152 (Carter 34, Falconer 3-19, Lumsden 2-17) by 252 runs
The partnership ended when Moores, on 81, found the deep midwicket fielder off Finlay Jones in the 25th over. By then, Mayes had reached his century off just 65 balls. Dropped on 118 by Finlay Carter, Mayes went on to magnify Scotland’s misery. In all, he cracked 18 fours and eight sixes in his innings.
Scotland hardly got going in the chase. They didn’t lose any wickets in the first powerplay, but only scored 33. From 38 without loss, they suffered a collapse of 4 for 14, and it was a matter of time before England wrapped up victory. Carter was Scotland’s top scorer with 34, while Caleb Falconer, Manny Lumsden and Ralphie Albert shared seven wickets for England.
Afghanistan 88 for 1 (Shinozada 55*, Juma 1-32) beat Tanzania 85 (Omarzai 5-9, Niazai 2-9) by nine wickets
Tanzania laboured to just 14 runs in the powerplay, playing out two maidens and losing two wickets. To add to their trouble, Rehaan Ahtif retired hurt in the 16th over. Augustino Mwamele and captain Laksh Bakrania added 35 for the fourth wicket, but that was as good as it got for Tanzania. From 66 for 3 in the 29th over, they lost 7 for 19 in the next 7.1 overs.
