Finn Allen is Player Of The Match. That's all for tonight, good night.

A comprehensive victory for New Zealand. After posting a mammoth 225, New Zealand bowlers managed to picked regular wickets and Scotland never got the required momentum in this big run chase. Ish Sodhi was the pick of the bowlers [4/28]. New Zealand leads the 2-match series 1-0.
