Scotland- Richie Berrington’s One-Handed masterclass in T20 World Cup

On Tuesday, Richie Berrington was in top form as Scotland defeated Papua New Guinea by 17 runs in their Group B Round 1 fixture of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021 at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground. The 34-year-old smashed 70 off 49 balls and also put in a stunning catch during Papua New Guniea’s chase. On the delivery of the sixth over, Josh Davey sent a full ball to batsman Simon Atai. He tried for a smashing drive but ended up slicing it towards a point where Berrington took a brilliant one-handed catch. ICC shared the highlight on their social media handles and captioned it as, Richie Berrington, unsatisfied in impressing with just the bat, decided to give us a masterclass in the field too.

Scotland won the toss and opted to bat. Berrington’s swashbuckling knock helped his side post 165 for nine in 20 overs. Matthew Cross made a noteworthy contribution with a knock of 45 runs in 36 balls.
