Chasing Bangladesh's total of 259 for six, Scotland celebrated for their first victory against a Test-playing nation thanks to Cedric English, who spanked a four off the game's final delivery.

The Scots needed 14 runs in the last over and they did it in style, hitting three fours against a usually reliable right-arm paceman Tapash Baisya, who went for a staggering 74 runs in his ten overs.

So far Bangladesh's bowling has looked impressive without being menacing. But the absence of experienced Khaled Mahmud, who was rested, exposed their weaknesses in their final match.

Although the spinners Moha-mmad Rafique and Manjarul Islam did a good containing job in the middle overs, but it all came to nothing when the pacers returned. Tareq Aziz, the other pacer, also had a miserable time conceding 61 runs.

The Tigers' bowling options were again limited with the mysterious no show of Mushfiqur Rahman, who broke down in the first practice match against Ireland. It is nothing new for the all-rounder who gets injured right at the start of a tour.

The batting however looked in good shape before Bangladesh's ICC Champions Trophy campaign, especially the two young guns Aftab Ahmed and Nafees Iqbal showing consistency since their call up to the senior team.

Right-handed Aftab scored a solid 80 before being stumped by Colin Smith off Gordon Goudie. Nafees made 42 and Faisal Hossain, a replacement for injured captain Habibul Bashar, scored 54.

Scotland's fantastic chase was led by Ryan Watson's composed 83 and Fraser Watts'50. They set up the victory with a 109-run partnership for the third wicket. But English hogged the spotlight with an unbeaten 49.

Bangladesh will play one more practice match against the United States in England tomorrow before their opening ICC Champions Trophy fixture against South Africa on September 12. Tigers' final group league match is against West Indies on September 15.
