cut away to third man and that's it. New Zealand win by 8 wickets
Scotland vs New Zealand, 3rd Match at Aberdeen, Jul 03 2008 - Match Result
New Zealand won by 8 wickets (with 212 balls remaining)
A comfortable win for the Kiwis and they were never in doubt, simply too good for the Scots with Taylor the main hitter on 61
Scotland offered little challenge with Sheikh top scoring on 18 and Goudie offering support late on with a good six and 17 runs
Extras was joint top scorer with Poonia on 15 and Scotland will be dissapointed they couldn't make it a closer game and New Zealand will be pleased they got the job done without any hassle.
Ross Taylor stated that it had been a very sucessful tour for the Kiwis and as a young team they were gelling well and had a lot of potential.
Scots captain Watson said that things didn't go their way today and that the conditions for them batting couldn't have been worse. He said the tourists made it look easy and there were some youngsters who looked promosing
