Scotland firm to break WC duck

Registering their first victory in a World Cup match is the "realistic target" Scotland's young and hungry team have set themselves in their third appearance in the biggest 50-over tournament, reports Reuters.
In their two previous appearances in 1999 and 2007 Scotland failed to win a match and have been drawn in Pool A alongside joint hosts Australia and New Zealand, England, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan this time.
In their last World Cup campaign in 2007, Scotland were thrashed in a 203-run defeat to Australia and also suffered seven and eight-wicket losses at the hands of South Africa and the Netherlands respectively.
