Josh Little and Andy McBrine took three wickets apiece, for 33 and 26 runs respectively.
The hosts’ subsequent chase was delayed and interrupted by rain, leaving them with a revised target of 118.
And they reached it in 22.2 overs, for the loss of three wickets, following contributions of 43 from Paul Stirling, 34 from skipper Andrew Balbirnie and 16 from William Porterfield.
