It was the co-host’s second straight victory in Group A after it romped to a seven-wicket win over Canada.
The United States scored a major upset at the T20 World Cup by beating cricket heavyweight Pakistan in the super over on Thursday.
Off successive deliveries, Jones hit a six off Haris Rauf and then a single before Nitish Kumar’s boundary off the final ball tied the score at 159 at the end of regulation as Pakistan's experienced fast bowler gave away 14 runs off the final six balls.
It was a disastrous start for captain Babar Azam's Pakistan, which is due to meet archrival India on Sunday in New York. Amir had Patel caught behind off a slow off-cutter and Ghous was clean bowled by Rauf. But Rauf, who bowled the last over with a cushion of 15 runs, couldn’t stop Jones and Kumar from taking the game into super over with two big hits off the final three deliveries.
The left-arm spin of Nosthush Kenjige also troubled Pakistan batters inside the power play as Usman Khan played a reckless shot and holed out while Fakhar Zaman’s weak ramp shot couldn’t clear the fielder at short fine leg inside the 30-yard circle as Pakistan slipped to 26-3 in the fifth over. Scotland wins Captain Richie Berrington made an unbeaten 47 from 35 balls and shared a 74-run fifth wicket partnership with Michael Leask which steered Scotland to its first win over Namibia in four T20 internationals.
