A collective effort from Mark Chapman and Michael Bracewell saw New Zealand clench the series as the visitors cruised past Scotland with a 102-run victory over them. Chapman gave a man-of-the-match performance with 83 runs off 44 balls and Bracewell with 61 runs off only 25 balls.
Bracewell came to the crease with the visitors in huge trouble at 120/5, but batted sensibly when needed and then produced the thrilling knock in the final over to ensure New Zealand drew first blood in the three-game ODI series.
