Nathan Graham has come full circle at the Rugby League World Cup and can't wait to unleash a new-look Scotland on the rest of the world. Graham played in Scotland's first World Cup campaign and returns as head coach this time around, though he's hoping to create better memories than those from 22 years ago. Ad Scotland lost all three matches in 2000, including two on home soil, as they finished bottom of Group 4 and they have hardly lit up since, with their best World Cup result coming eight years ago.

Pakistan tuned up for the tri-series final against hosts New Zealand with a nerve-wracking seven-wicket win over Bangladesh on Thursday after Mohammad Nawaz secured victory with just a ball to spare. Litton Das, who brushed off an early leg strain to put in a gutsy performance, and captain Shakib Al Hasan both chalked up half centuries for Bangladesh to set Pakistan 174 to win in Christchurch. In reply, Pakistan had to work for the win as allrounder Nawaz put in a match-changing innings of 45 off 20 balls.
Pakistan edged Bangladesh by seven wickets with one ball remaining at the New Zealand Twenty20 cricket tri-series on Thursday. Babar made 55 and Rizwan went on to 68 to help guide Pakistan past Bangladesh's total of 173-6. Pakistan lost Babar's wicket and another in the 13th over and had to rely on Mohammad Nawaz, who struck an unbeaten 45 from 20 balls to close out the win. AS IT HAPPENEDThere was a flicker of concern when Rizwan holed out in the deep in the 19th over with Pakistan needing nine from seven balls. At the start of the last over it needed eight from six balls but with seven wickets in hand and Nawaz still at the crease, Pakistan was in command. Asif Ali took a streaky single from the first ball and Nawaz played an overhead tennis shot from the second ball for two. Nawaz continued to find gaps in the field for two runs until a four behind point by Nawaz from the fifth ball of the over clinched the win. "I think if you give a chance to the Bangladesh bowlers they don't make it easy because they bowl very well," Rizwan said.
