Captain for the day in the ­absence of Richie Berrington, MacLeod produced a composed knock that helped his side reach their target with four wickets and two overs in hand.

Chasing the Dutch side’s 235-8, the Reivers lost two quick wickets but a century stand between MacLeod and Moneeb Iqbal put the Scots back on course, the former making 116 before the Reivers knocked off the 14 runs needed for victory.
