Three missed catches now 😕
Scotland have to be pleased with that target.
Very good start 28 for 0 after 4.
All they have to do now is aim to bat the overs now and the job will be done.
Scotland well in control. Captain Coetzer going well with 40 with a few brilliant 6s. 72 for 1 after 9.
A great achievement from Scotland, three wins from three. Superb stuff.
Great finish.
Enjoyed that.
Great result, I said before I was worried about Oman.
I’m not sure which group we go into now, pre-tournament the seedings were to be based on world rankings, but the latest rumour was that it is now on group placing. Ie under the old plan Bangladesh would be top seeds but now I think we are.
In addition we now automatically qualify for the 2022 T20 World Cup.
We are in with Afghanistan, India, New Zealand, Pakistan and probably Ireland.Quote:

Fixtures for the next stage.
25/10 Afghanistan
27/10 Namibia
3/11 New Zealand
5/11 India
7/11 Pakistan.
Looks relatively easy. :greengrin
That’s a brilliant win for Namibia. Scenes. :greengrin
So… Namibia likely the easier game over Ireland, but they beat us in a warm up a couple of weeks ago… Ireland very much a team on the slide, full member status came 5 years too late for them!Quote:

Bangladesh v Sri Lanka looking close on runs at the moment, although wickets falling for Sri Lanka…
A rare India v Pakistan game at 3pm should be a good watch.
India struggling a bit so far 31-3, Pakistan bowling really well.
Good comeback from India to finish on 151.
This one could go down to the wire.
Great win for Pakistan, they were brilliant today.
Afghanistan have won the toss and chosen to bat first. I’m a little bit surprised about that as teams tend to worry about dew coming down in the second innings.
Here we go then. Bowling first, so let's see how they get on.
Coetzer looked delighted with that.Quote:

I wonder if they will effectively end up playing in exile.Quote:

Leask got a bit of a battering there. Ouch.
Bit experimental, if I was going to bowl a spinner I’d have gone for watt. Left armer adds a bit of unknown.Quote:
