New Delhi: In their World Cup opener Scotland not only lost to the favorites and the co-host New Zealand but they are now among the 13 cricket playing nations to have five of their batsmen going back to the pavilion without scoring in ODIs.

In the 6th game of the World Cup Scotland were bundled out for 142 in 36.2 overs by New Zealand in Dunedin which the host won by three wickets.

Scottish fans must be cursing their five batsmen who could not open their accounts as a little contribution from them would have caused the second upset of the tournament after Ireland defeated West Indies Monday.

Chasing a meager total, much famed batting line up of New Zealand, one of the favorites for the title, collapsed  leaving it to the tail enders to  save them from embarrassment.

Pakistan tops the list with six ducks and that too with great consistency. They have achieved this feat three times so far.
