**Dallas, Texas:** Brandon McMullen smashed a stunning 151 runs, his highest ever ODI score, to propel Scotland to a convincing 71-run victory over the USA in their ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 encounter in Dallas.

McMullen’s blistering innings, featuring 11 fours and 6 sixes, helped Scotland amass a formidable total of 317-5. Charlie Tear (51) and Michael Leask (33*) provided valuable support, with the Scots scoring a remarkable 119 runs in the final ten overs.

Brad Currie, with two wickets in the opening powerplay, put the USA under immediate pressure. Despite resilient efforts from Utkarsh Srivastava (67), Monak Patel (51), and Sanjay Krishnamurthi (49), the hosts ultimately fell short of the target. Jack Jarvis, with impressive figures of 4-40, ensured a comfortable win for the Scots.

The victory sees Scotland leapfrog the Netherlands to claim third place in the CWCL2 table. Their final fixture of the series is against Nepal on Monday, starting at 1630 UK.
