A five-wicket spell by Rubel Hossain helped Bangladesh defeat Scotland by six wickets in an unofficial warm-up match ahead of the ICC World Twenty20 2009.

Hossain picked up 5-16 to help his side limit Scotland to 141-7, picking up the prize wicket of Neil McCallum, who posted his fifty in 37 balls. Opener Gavin Hamilton was the next top-scorer with his 45 in 41 balls.

In the next innings, Mohammad Ullah top scored with his 46 runs in 35 balls that saw his side home with eight balls to spare. The Bangladesh run-chase faced a brief initial scare when it lost two early wickets until opener Tamim Iqbal (33 in 21 balls) and Shakib al Hasan (36 in 29 balls) kept the run chase steady to win by six wickets.

Bangladesh will next take on Australia in a warm-up game on 1 June while Scotland will face England the next day.
