Scotland recorded an impressive 179-run victory over Ireland in their first warm-up game for the World Cup.

After winning the toss at Sydney's Blacktown Olympic Par Oval, Scotland made a disappointing start but recovered well enough to post 296 for six at the end of their 50 overs.

Matt Machan led the way with 103, ably supported by Preston Mommsen and Richie Berrington, who made 56 and 52 respectively.

Despite a promising opening partnership, the reply fell away with Alasdair Evans taking 4-17 and Majid Haq 3-9 as Ireland collapsed to 117 all out.Rohit Sharma shines for India, making 150 as his side reaches 364 for five against Afghanistan en route to a 153-run win

India were also in action for their final preparations ahead of their opening game against Pakistan on Sunday, recording a comprehensive 153-run win over Afghanistan at the Adelaide Oval.

Rohit Sharma continued his good form from the Tri-Series with 150 at the top of the order, with Suresh Raina and Ajinkya Rahane each adding half-centuries to the cause as India piled up 364 for five.

Nawroz Mangal and Usman Ghani each batted well in response but the India attack did enough to keep Afghanistan at bay and restrict them to 211 for eight at the end of the game.
