Scotland confident over World Cup

Wright top-scored for the Scots in the final with 30 in Nairobi

Scotland captain Craig Wright says his side can go to the World Cup in good heart despite losing in the ICC World Cricket League final to Kenya.

The hosts eased home by eight wickets after bundling the Scots out for 155.

But Wright said: "Being together as we have been now for over four weeks, the team spirit we have is fantastic.

"Getting guys batting and bowling, and playing for four weeks ahead of such a massive tournament gives us a good chance of showing we're a decent team."

In reaching the final, Scotland booked a place at the inaugural ICC Twenty20 World Championships in South Africa later this year.

We didn't quite manage to put our best foot forward in the final but we're looking forward now to the World Cup Craig Wright

Wright said that was one of a number of positives his team could draw from their efforts in Kenya.

"One of the great successes of the last three weeks of playing one-day cricket is the fact that we haven't really relied on one particular individual," he explained.

"We've had everyone making a contribution at some stage or another.

"Our top-order batting has fired on a more consistent basis, we've had a lot of guys making fifties and we've been making scores of 250-plus on a quite regular basis.

"Our bowling has stood up to the flat wickets pretty well and, by and large, the fielding has been pretty good too.

"We didn't quite manage to put our best foot forward in the final but we're looking forward now to the World Cup."
