    CWC Qualifiers: Chris Greaves decimates Sri Lanka's middle order

    What's the story

    Scotland leg-spinner Chris Greaves ran riot against Scotland in the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifiers encounter at the Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo.

    The 32-year-old took a four-wicket haul as the Lankans were folded for 245 in 49.3 overs.

    He was clearly the pick of Scotland's bowlers in the match.

    In Scotland's previous match (against Oman), Greaves took his maiden ODI five-wicket haul.

    Spell

    A brilliant spell from Greaves

    After being invited to bat, Sri Lanka crossed the 200-run mark within 40 overs for the loss of four wickets.

    In the 40th over, Greaves knocked over Dhananjaya de Silva before dismissing the Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka on the very next delivery.

    The leg-spinner then got rid of Wanindu Hasaranga in the 44th over.

    Greaves's final wicket came in the form of Lahiru Kumara.

    His economy of 5.68 is also decent in this format.

    With the willow, he has amassed 258 runs at 19.84. He has a solitary ODI fifty against Namibia.
