Scotland's Cricket World Cup League 2 campaign in Nepal ended in disappointment as USA secured a convincing victory. After winning the toss and electing to bat first, Richie Berrington's side collapsed to 169 all out. Mark Watt provided the only resistance with a gritty 66, but seven batsmen failed to reach double figures, exposing Scotland's batting frailties.

The American chase proved clinical despite an early dropped catch. Smit Patel and Shayan Jahangir established control early, keeping ahead of the required rate throughout. USA reached their target with 22.5 overs to spare, losing just four wickets in the process. The comprehensive nature of the victory shifted momentum decisively in favor of the Americans.

Berrington acknowledged the team's shortcomings post-match, citing a slower-than-expected pitch and lack of batting support. With successive losses, Scotland has dropped from the summit to second place behind USA in the standings. This defeat raises serious questions about Scotland's World Cup qualification prospects.
