Scotland off to a good start in the chase 88-1 in the 17th

Andy McBrine keeping Ireland competitive. He's had a good competition.

Looks like this will be a close one.

Sudden collapse swings the game to Ireland.

Rankin murtagh and Singh doing the damage.

Scotland need 84 from the last 10 with only 3 wickets in hand

Ireland win by 25 runs. This is looking interesting. Anyone except UAE could advance.

Calamitous defeat for Scotland.

Zimbabwe v WI tomorrow looks crucial. The loser might get engulfed by the emerging Celtic nations.

Ireland have Afg. to play so they might be better placed than Scotland who have WI to beat.

This remains compelling. Zimbabwe have UAE to play last, so even if they lose to West Indies they still have a strong chance of going through. But any of the top 5 teams can still qualify.

Taylor gets his century!

A big total at this level. Going to be tough for WI unless Gayle shakes the game up in the first ten overs.

Zimbabwe 289 all out.

Taylor 138

Holder 4-35
Roach 3-55
Paul 2-55

Taylor by some way top run scorer at the competition.

Holder the leading wicket taker.

Lewis out for 64 from 75.

Good start for WI. But we all know how fragile their batting is.

Pivotal game now tilting to WI. 115 needed with 8 wickets in hand. That's 7.5 an over though, so plenty to do.
