The ICC’s cricket World Cup qualifier started today in Zimbabwe. As a result of shortening the size of the tournament, only 10 teams are in the World Cup. These are made up of the top 8 full members and the top 2 from this tournament.
Scotland this morning have hammered newly anointed full members Afghanistan by 7 wickets.
I would think Scotland’s chances of progressing are slim with the Windies, home team Zimbabwe, Ireland, Afghanistan and the Netherlands to beat but they should be expected to finish high enough to maintain ODI status for the next World Cup cycle, this is certainly a great start!
Results 1 to 30 of 35

In Scotland’s second match this morning thy have bowled Hong Kong out for 91, a heavy win here and they should be all but assured a super 6 place. Results carry forward though so they will still be looking for good results against Nepal and, more importantly, Zimbabwe.

Nepal next on Thursday, win that and super 6 is assured along with, probably, odi status. Still not confident they’ll make the World Cup though.

Scotland have bowled Nepal out for 149 this morning and are now 32/0 of 9 chasing 150. Hopefully they’ll approach this one a bit more carefully to make sure they get over the line unscathed.

Scotland have bowled Zimbabwe out for 210 this morning, great chance to take 4 points into the super 6s but I think this might be a close one.
Win this and I might start to believe they can qualify for the World Cup...

First match of the super 6 is today, and Scotland have set the UAE 323 to win, they are currently 98/5 off 16 overs.
A big win would be good here as they have Ireland and the Windies to come. Winning one of those games and a high net run rate may be enough to make the World Cup.

Scotland are 111-2 chasing Ireland’s 271 on Sky sports just now if anyone is interested.

Berrington gone just as he was trying to go for it, that will pretty much be that I think....

Scotland get Gayle out with the first ball. Decent start.

Just clicked on to cricinfo at the bus stop, that’s a pleasant surprise. Winner takes all in this game.

The target is 199, which is very achievable. 10/1 off 3 so far.

Off for rain and 5 runs behind the par score. Had they not lost a dodgy wicket a few balls ago they’d have been 3 runs ahead. Any reduction in overs is likely to aid Scotland due to the low score but cricinfo still seems hopeful of a full game.
