Spain clinched third place with a 90-run victory over Israel, who were only able to field nine players because of injuries and religious observance.

In another powerful batting display, the Spaniards ran up a total of 258-8, surpassing their previous best of 248 for six against Portugal.

The runs came from Tariq Ali, who made 58 from 18 deliveries, with five fours and five sixes, sharing an opening stand of 78 with Armaghan Khan (29), from Pedro Venus Valiente (44 from 26), and from Nizar Ahmed, whose 19-ball 50 included two fours and six sixes.

Israeli wicketkeeper Shailesh Bangera discarded the gloves for this game and was the most successful of the bowlers with 3-32, while captain Herschel Gutman and Shifron Waskar picked up two apiece.
