Another day, another upset in the ICC T20 World Cup!

Namibia did it on Day 1 against Asian Champions Sri Lanka while Scotland produced a clinical performance against the two-time champions, the West Indies.

Richie Berrington's side trounced the men from the Caribbean by 42 runs in Group B's qualifier on Monday in Hobart.

After being sent in to bat in overcast conditions, George Munsey was the star of the show for Scotland. His unbeaten 66, along with some decent quickfire contributions from the middle-order helped their team post 160 on the board.

In reply, the West Indies batters took their time at the start. While Kyle Mayers departed early, Evin Lewis & Brandon King raised hopes with a 33-run stand. 

In fact, the Windies were 53/1 at one stage before they lost the plot.

Wickets fell one after the other and from 53/1, the Men from the Caribbean found themselves tottering at 79/8.

And while Jason Holder did strike a few lusty blows towards the end, they were never really in the run-chase and were eventually bowled out for 118, giving Scotland a shocking 48-run victory.
