Steve Outerbridge hit 113 but Bermuda lost to Scotland

Scotland beat Bermuda by 107 runs in their latest ICC Intercontinental Cup match after an efficient bowling effort on day four.

Victory lifted Scotland to fourth in the table, nudging them above Holland.

Home side Bermuda had been 123 for four overnight in their second innings, needing a further 250 to beat the Scots in Hamilton.

But they could not get close and were all out for 265 in the 103rd over, with Steven Outerbridge’s century in vain.

Scotland maintained their discipline in the field and although Rodney Trott (28), Irving Romaine (27) and last man George O’Brien (32) made decent contributions, it was the visitors who finished on top.

Outerbridge made 113 in Bermuda’s total, his first international century.

Scotland’s left-arm spinner Ross Lyons had taken three wickets early in the Bermuda second innings and finished off the home side by removing O’Brien to finish with figures of 4-55 in 27.4 overs, while Dewald Nel took 3-64.
