Great start from Scotland, West Indies on 49-4. I’m checking flights to India. ��
Now 81-6, Scotland in a good position here
I watched their batting comeback against Ireland (I think?) last week. Hopefully they can get the job done here!
167-8
Bowled really well 174-9.
Let’s hope the batters match the bowlers performance. I’m fairly hopeful they will.
I’ve cursed it. :greengrinQuote:

Scotland just getting the job done here. Impressive.
129-2 after 31 overs.
150-2 with 15 overs to go.
Need 25 from 81 balls. Game over.
Impressive result for Scotland
Get in! Tremendous effort.
What a result. Amazing for scotland! Just shows how far West Indian cricket has fallen though. I grew up watching an almost unbeatable team to now losing to Scotland. But, wah an achievement for Scotland
A superb win, they controlled that game from start to finish. Hopefully more to come.
They managed to qualify for this stage despite losing both games.Quote:

Top 2 in the super six qualify.
Did anyone see the WI vs Netherlands game last week? WI scored 374-6 setting the Netherlands 375 to win and they nearly did it, needing 1 run off the last ball they lost a wicket and the match was tied. They then scored 3 fours and 3 sixes in the super over to score 30 runs. WI could only manage 8-2 chasing a ridiculous 31 to win.
Terrific result and performance. As others have said the once mighty West Indies look to be dying a sad, slow death when it comes to cricket but that shouldn't detract from the way Scotland played.Quote:

234-8 at the end of Scotland's innings.
Could go either way now. It's a total that is both achievable and also defendable? If defendable is even a word. Fingers crossed for a wun
Zimbabwe 15-2 after 4 overs
37/4 after 8.2. Given ourselves a real chance here.
61-4 after 13.
108-5 in the 22nd over.
156-5, could do with taking another wicket or 2 soon.
171-6
Zimbabwe well ahead on the run rate so Scotland are going to have to bowl them out here. Need to get Burl out.
Yep whole match is on that wicket.Quote:

Would be handy to get Burl out. That wicket would see a Scotland win I'm sure
Maybe not. 😁Quote:

Assuming wee see this one over the line - it’s a straight ‘whoever wins’ between us and Netherlands for qualification right?
What sort of odds will scotland be to beat Netherlands, slight favourites?
198-9
Done 🏴
Get in there!
Great win, scrapped to a defendable total with Leask and Watt making big contributions with the bat again. Then backed that up with an excellent bowling and fielding display (dropped catch aside), I think Scotland knew they had to bowl them out and weren't overly bothered with the run rate being better than required as they had confidence they could take the wickets.
I don't think that the match against the Netherlands is a must win as we have a better net run rate, but I've no clue how to work out what they might need if they were to lose.
On the basis of the Windies and today's performance I'd have us as favourites. Maybe tougher than we might like tho.Quote:

Scotland v Netherlands on Thursday. We are 2 points ahead and well ahead on run rate. Does anyone know the permutations? What we need to qualify?
Found this https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/3564159
"The NRR equation will vary depending on how many runs are scored but, as an example, if Netherlands score 250 then Scotland can afford to lose by up to 31 runs. A win by 32 or more runs for Netherlands would lift their NRR above Scotland's in this scenario.
If Scotland bat first and score 250, they will stay ahead on NRR if Netherlands chase it down in around 44.1 overs (depending on how they get their winning runs). If they chase it down any sooner, then Netherlands will trump Scotland's run rate and take the second qualification spot."
Probably easier just to win to be honest... :greengrin
Nothing between us in the match betting odds. So I guess having those runs to ‘play with’ makes us slight favourites to qualify.
Looking forward to tomorrow morning!
277 for Scotland. Anybody with an update of what NL need to beat us by?
278 in 44 oversQuote:

Good total that. Fingers crossed that it ses us through
It is a good total especially considering they have to get that in 44 overs, but the Netherlands have scored really well so far, their batting is strong.Quote:

I'm no expert but seems like NL have started well.
Yup, very poor start from Scotland's bowlers.Quote:

Not a great start.
So 12 overs in and on 66. At this rate it's going to be close.

50 50 at the moment. Hopefully getting the two batsmen who were set out will slow the runs down too
3 down now and needing 8 an over to beat the target. Will be tight
108-4, 8.5 runs per over required now.
Huge wicket! We really needed to break that partnership to slow things down.
163-5 now. Ned have just over 13 overs to score 115 runs.
Not looking good now. Too many mistakes by the looks of things
Netherlands need 60 from 6 overs now. Squeaky bum time...
Could do with getting rid of De Leede.
Too close to call. Very nervous now
Those two sixes have swung it now. Booo
Make that three
De Leede is taking the piss now
Baws
2 terrible overs and that's pretty much it.
Poor bowling performance today.
What a day to put in our worst performance
