Afghanistan beat Bermuda by 60 runs Thursday to win its second straight match in qualifying for the 2011 World Cup. Karim Khan hit 83 and Nowroz Mangal 71 in 77 balls to steer Afghanistan to 239-9 at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom. Karim started well after the early loss of Shafiqullah for 2, and Nowroz was run out off the final ball of the innings as he shepherded the tail to a respectable total against some tight bowling. Rodney Trott took 2-33 in 10 overs and Janeiro Tucker claimed 2-44 in nine to be the best of Bermuda's bowlers. Afghanistan's Samiullah Shenwari then took 4-28 in seven overs, removing the middle order after Bermuda had reached 125-2. Glenn Blakeney top-scored for Bermuda with 68, while Steven Outerbridge got 62. Ireland crushed Oman by 116 runs in Krugersdorp after the Omanis were dismissed for 169 in under 38 overs, with Regan West taking 5-26 in 10 overs and Peter Connell 3-24 in less than five. Kevin O'Brien smashed six fours and five sixes in an undefeated 101 in 91 balls as Ireland scored 285-4. O'Brien and Andrew White (71 not out off 73 balls) put on an unbeaten 174 for the fifth wicket. Oman's Zeeshan Siddiqui took 2-44. Scotland also had a big win, defeating Namibia by 72 runs at the University of Pretoria Oval despite Gerrie Snyman scoring 95 not out for the Africans. Dewald Nel took 3-37 for Scotland, with Gordon Goudie claiming 3-24 off six overs. Neil McCallum hit seven fours and five sixes to score 103 off 95 balls as Scotland reached 267-6. McCallum put on a 105-run stand with Kyle Coetzer (68) and was out in the last over of the innings, bowled by Louis Klazinga, who took 2-60.
