Munsey leads Scotland to 207-4 against Italy at T20 World Cup
Opener George Munsey led a batting charge with his 84 as Scotland made 207-4 against debutants Italy at the T20 World Cup in Kolkata on Monday.
Italy, far better known for its football, are cricket minnows and the lowest-ranked side in the 20-team tournament.
They won the toss and bowled in the Group C encounter at Eden Gardens, where there were a few Italian fans decked out in the country's blue.
Scotland rode on a 126-run opening stand between Munsey and Michael Jones, who hit 37, to post the highest total in the tournament so far.
Brandon McMullen with an unbeaten 18-ball 41 and Michael Leask, who hit 22 not out off the last five balls, took Scotland to their best T20 World Cup total.
The left-handed Munsey started briskly with a flurry of fours to unsettle the opposition attack in the first six overs of the powerplay.
Italy suffered a blow when captain Wayne Madsen fell awkwardly while trying to stop a boundary and went off the field wincing in pain with what looked like a dislocated shoulder.
Munsey, who was dropped on 40 by Anthony Mosca, reached his fifty in 30 balls with a six.
Munsey missed out on a hundred after he holed out to long-on off pace bowler Grant Stewart. He hit 13 fours and two sixes in his 54-ball knock.
