GEORGE Munsey’s quick-fire 67 helped Scotland to a five-wicket win over Ireland in their Men’s T20 World Cup warm-up match in Dubai.
Ireland were struggling at 20-3 but recovered to make 176 all out with Harry Tector hitting 38 and Curtis Campher adding 35.
Scots opener Munsey hit five sixes and seven boundaries in his 25-ball innings to set the platform for victory.

Calum MacLeod made 36 as Scotland reached 178-5 with 13 balls to spare.
It was the first warm-up game for both sides and Scotland made an instant impact yesterday by quickly removing big-hitting openers Paul Stirling and Kevin O’Brien along with captain Andrew Balbirnie.

Ireland’s middle-order came to the rescue with Tector, Campher and Neil Rock (32) ensuring the Scots would face a competitive target.
Safyaar Sharif took 2-27 while Hamza Tahir and Michael Leask both finished with 2-33.

Scotland opener Ollie Hairs was dismissed with just one run on the board but Munsey was soon blasting his way to a half-century.
Munsey departed with Scotland on 108-2 and his blistering knock allowed his team to make the total with ease.

Ben White had figures of 2-35 for an Ireland side which will face United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the first of three T20 warm-up games tomorrow.
Ireland start their T20 World Cup campaign against Netherlands on October 18 with Scotland taking on Bangladesh a day earlier.
