'Relaxed but professional' environment helping Scotlandpublished at 14:01 British Summer Time 25 July 2023
Scotland beat Austria by 166 runs
George Munsey also gave a few words after he blasted 132 from 61 balls - a new Scottish record:
"Oli [Hairs] set the standard with the way he batted yesterday, and it was nice to get a few more than him today," Munsey said.
"It's going to be a tough ask [to beat Oli's 40-ball hundred], but I'll try! It's really chilled, we've had a good environment for a long time now. It's relaxed but professional at the same time, and that's key.
"Different players are standing up with match-winning performances. When you've got full belief in the guys that are here, that's what happens. We're in a good place."

Scotland win by 166 runs
Tomas Mackintosh made his T20 debut for Scotland today, and spoke to me about the experience post-match:
"Very good fun," he said. "Watching the past couple of days and seeing the boys go about it, so to join in today was very special indeed.
"It's a complete sense of enjoyment, and that reflects on performance - George [Munsey] today, Oli [Hairs] yesterday.
"For me, just keep working hard, and if the opportunity comes around then see what I can do, and hopefully put my name forward for the coming games.
"Mum and Dad were here today, and it's always special to have them around."

WICKET Sadran b Greaves 15published at 16.3 overs
SCOTLAND WIN BY 166 RUNS
Chris Greaves comprehensively bowls Jaweed Sadran, and that is that at Goldenacre.
It's another crushing victory for Scotland, who move a step closer to World Cup qualification.
WICKET Zadran c Mackintosh b Sharif 0published at 16 overs
Austria 66-9 (target 233)
Edged, and gone!
Sahel Zadran pokes at one outside off from Safyaan Sharif, and feathers one through to Tom Mackintosh.
Postpublished at 15.2 overs
Austria 64-8 (target 233)
Hello!
Jaweed Sadran creams Safyaan Sharif over long-on for Austria's first six of the innings, and then belts four more over mid-off.
He's the first Austria player into double figures - get him up the order.
WICKET Akbarjan b Greaves 3published at 14.3 overs
Austria 54-8 (target 233)
Another one bites the dust!
Chris Greaves spears in a quicker one, and Abdullah Akbarjan can't jam his bat down in time.
Greaves has his first, and Scotland need just two more for victory.

Austria 52-7 (target 233)
Austria now need 30.17 runs an over to chase this down.
Doable...
Postpublished at 13 overs
Austria 50-7 (target 233)
Michael Leask finishes with 3-11 from his four overs.
You'd take figures like that.
WICKET Cheema run out McMullen 6published at 12.4 overs
Austria 50-7 (target 233)
Mehar Cheema works one into the leg-side, and sets off for the single, before being sent back.
Brandon McMullen's throw is right over the top of the stumps, and Cheema is well short when Tom Mackintosh whips off the bails.

Austria 45-6 (target 233)
Six runs and the wicket from Gavin Main's third over, who has bowled excellently here, backing up his five-fer yesterday.
WICKET Tariq c Berrington b Main 3published at 11.2 overs
Austria 41-6 (target 233)
Gavin Main is far too quick for Umair Tariq, and the Austria number seven can only splice a short ball to Richie Berrington in the covers.
WICKET Randhawa lbw b Leask 3published at 10.5 overs
Austria 38-5 (target 233)
'One straight up here boys' cries Chris Greaves on the boundary after a big slog-sweep that Armaan Randhawa gets nowhere near.
Randhawa goes to the shot again, and is struck bang in front.
That's plumb, and Michael Leask has two in the over.
WICKET Momin c Greaves b Leask 4published at 10.1 overs
Austria 33-4 (target 233)
Shahil Momin tries to take Michael Leask over the top, but only succeeds in spooning a catch to Chris Greaves at mid-off.
Postpublished at 9 overs
Austria 29-3 (target 233)
Michael Leask continues to twirl away from the Pavilion end.
Austria now need 18.5 runs an over to win, for those of you keeping count...
WICKET Wikesekera c Berrington b Main 6published at 7.2 overs
Austria 24-3 (target 233)
Nivan Wijesekera never looked comfortable out there, and one ball after being hit, pops a leading edge to Richie Berrington at cover.
The field for the new batter isn't one you often see in T20 cricket - a slip and a short-leg to keep the Austrian pair company.
George Munsey is the man under the lid - clearly a record-breaking century doesn't make you exempt from that job.
Postpublished at 7.1 overs
Austria 24-2 (target 233)
Gavin Main took five wickets yesterday in the big win over Italy, and is straight into his work here.
A back-of-a-length delivery is way too quick for Nivan Wikesekera, and it thuds into his ribs.
The Austria physio is giving him the once over.
WICKET Shigiwal c Mackintosh b Leask 7published at 7 overs
Austria 24-2 (target 233)
Razmal Shigiwal looks to sweep Michael Leask, and it pops up in the air, allowing Tom Mackintosh to take a simple catch behind the stumps.
There's a rather speculative appeal, and the umpire's finger goes up.
Postpublished at 6 overs
Austria 20-1 (target 233)
Razmal Shigiwal hoiks Brad Currie away for four over midwicket, and it just goes for four despite the lack of timing.
At the other end, Nivan Wijesekera has struggled out there so far, scoring five from 24 deliveries.
