Scots lament failure to find ‘full package’ against Bangladesh
NELSON: Scotland captain Preston Mommsen was a frustrated man after his side suffered their fourth defeat in as many matches at this World Cup with a six-wicket loss to Bangladesh in Nelson on Thursday.
The Scots, one of four non-Test nations taking part in the tournament, made a competitive 318 for eight — their highest World Cup total — with Kyle Coetzer’s 156 the first World Cup century by a Scotland batsman.
But Bangladesh still won with 11 balls to spare, finishing on 322 for four with Tamim Iqbal (95), Mahmudullah (62), Mushfiqur Rahim (60) and Shakib Al Hasan (52 not out) all making fifties in what was the second-highest successful World Cup chase of all-time.
Defeat ended Scotland’s hopes of making the quarter-finals as the most number of points they can now take from their remaining two matches, against Sri Lanka and Australia, is four and there are four sides above them in Pool A with five or more points.
The top four in each of the two groups of seven qualify for the last eight.
“It was tough to take,” said Mommsen. “We did a lot of things right but we couldn’t put the full package together. We were happy with 318 but we knew it was still a good wicket.
“We couldn’t create enough chances to take 10 wickets out there. I tried to keep things fresh and keep the batsmen guessing but they managed the run-chase really well.”
Turning to Coetzer’s superb century, Mommsen said: “It was a huge moment for Kyle Coetzer and for Scotland, it was brilliant to see him at his best.”
Coetzer added: “It’s been nice to score a few runs but at the end of the day it’s the result of the game — and that’s disappointing today.
“The guys will be a bit distraught up there — we worked so hard and we feel like we’ve deserved that win in the World Cup.”
Victory for Bangladesh left them fourth in Pool A, three points ahead of England who they play in Adelaide on Monday in what will be a key match for both sides’ quarter-final ambitions.
“The boys have done really well,” said Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza. “Tamim was outstanding and Mushfiqur and Shakib were brilliant at the end. It will be difficult against England but we will do our best,” he added. AFP

Rescuers find 32 dead miners in east Ukraine mine: rebel official
Rescuers found 32 bodies of miners in the Zasyadko mine in eastern Ukraine a day after a blast ripped through the shaft, a rebel official said on Thursday.
“32 bodies of dead miners of the Zasyadko mine have been found” by early morning, the emergency ministry of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic said in a statement, adding that the bodies were being raised to the surface.
Efforts were still continuing to find the one miner who was still unaccounted for.
The pro-Kiev administration of the Donetsk region said that by 7:00 am (0500GMT) 14 bodies have been pulled out of the shaft, and seven were already identified. It gave the same toll figure of 32 dead.
“The rescue operation is still ongoing so the figure may change,” it said.
The Zasyadko mine is located on the outskirts of rebel hub Donetsk and lies just a few kilometres from the frontline of the conflict between the pro-Russian separatists and Kiev’s forces.
International monitors have reported sporadic heavy fire in the area of the Donetsk airport nearby despite the EU-mediated ceasefire struck on February 12.
The explosion, believed to be caused by a buildup of methane gas, occurred shortly before 0400GMT Wednesday, when 230 miners were underground.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko late Wednesday decreed a nationwide day of mourning Thursday, ordering the Ukrainian flag to fly at half-mast and cancelling entertainment events.
Both Ukraine and Russia have offered to aid in the search for survivors but the separatist authorities claimed that they have enough people and equipment. -AFP
