Scotland will go into their World Twenty20 opener with New Zealand without a competitive win under their belt having lost their final warm-up match against the Netherlands at the Oval.

But skipper Gavin Hamilton remains optimistic the Saltires can pull off a shock win against the Kiwis, provided they get their house in order.

Durham batsmen Kyle Coetzer showed spark hitting 39 from 28 balls but Scotland's lower half faltered as they slumped from 102 for three off 14 overs to 128 for nine at the end of the innings.

Paceman Dirk Nannes' miserly four-over spell went for just 13 runs and included 16 dot balls while fellow opener Edgar Schiferli and Pieter Seelaar picked up three wickets each.

Calum MacLeod's dismissal of Darron Reekers in the first over gave the Scots hope but a calm 62 from Alexei Kervezee eased the Netherlands home by seven wickets.

Scotland, who have previously lost to the West Indies and Bangladesh, were given a stark reality check after pushing England close on Tuesday and Hamilton put paid to an error-strewn warm up campaign.

"We made the same mistakes as we did against England, we are trying to work on them because we obviously want to put get it out of our game as quickly as possible," said Hamilton.

"It was similar against England in the way that got a platform but never built on it. We didn't quite form the partnerships we would have liked at the top and there were far too many dot balls at times.

"We just have to maintain our standards and think of ways to make ourselves competitive during the opener against New Zealand."
