Captain Richie Berrington and debutant Lyle Robertson starred as Scotland thrashed Canada by 170 runs in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 tri-series at Forthill.\n\nBerrington, 39, hit his seventh one-day international century - 120 - including four sixes, taking his career haul to 90 sixes, a new Scottish record. Brandon McMullen added 64 in a 140-run stand with his captain after Scotland slipped to 25-2. Michael Jones (41) and Matthew Cross (51*) kept the momentum, and Jack Jarvis clubbed 30 from 14 balls to lift Scotland to 347-7.\n\nCanada’s reply never got going.

Pargat Singh (42) was the only batter to resist, but 23-year-old debutant Robertson claimed 6-52, taking his last five wickets in 15 balls. He missed a hat-trick but finished with a dream spell to seal a dominant win.\n\nScotland, already assured of a World Cup qualifier spot after beating Canada last week, now top League 2 standings, though the United States trail by two points with four games in hand.
