Methusan Thilina took 5/35 and James Anson 3/19.
The visitors then reached their target with just one wicket down thanks to Alec Drury's unbeaten 78 from 60 balls.
Scarborough chose to bat first at Clifton Alliance, in the same division, but may have regretted that decision at 13/3 and 50/6.
Archie Hammond was the star hitting 55 down the order as Boro reached 166/9 from their 50 overs.
However, despite Gihan Maligaspe Koralage taking 2/35, Clifton reached their target, by five wickets, with 21 overs to spare.

Brid put their hosts in, but laboured in the field with 235 on the board before the second wicket fell.
Brandesburton posted an impressive 317/8 from 50 overs with two wickets each for Steve Janney, Adam Newington and Jordan Baker.
At 43/4, their target looked a long way away, but a series of middle-order partnerships got the away side back into the game.
Wicket-keeper John Major made a superb 136 from 122 balls with skipper Russell Robinson slamming 77 from just 53 balls.
Brid needed five to win from the last two balls, but Major was caught and last man Ben Traves run out as the visitors were bowled out for 314 on the last ball.
Pickering will be in that division, next season, they thumped North Cave Coal Exporters by 137 runs as they continued their coast to the YPN Division One East title.
Andrew Sharman shone with a tremendous 141 not out from 131 balls, with Kieran Bowes adding 78 and Max Harland 51 as Pickering posted 358/7 from their 50 overs.
