George Munsey once again underlined his value at the top, scoring a measured yet dominant 84 from 54 balls. He set the tempo in the powerplay, punished anything loose, and anchored a 126 run opening stand that effectively broke Italy’s resistance. Batting well within himself, Munsey allowed others to play with freedom around him. Michael Leask then applied the finishing touches and backed it up with pressure in the second half. Together, their performances gave Scotland both control and cutting edge as tougher fixtures loom.
