    Sharif to Chatara
    Hits a shorter length, it jags back viciously and pings the top of off! He wheels away into the arms of converging teammates! Scotland beat Ireland, West Indies and now another full member Zimbabwe! It's a heartbreaking moment for Zimbabwe as they realize they will not be booking a ticket to the World Cup in India. The realization sinks in, and a stunned silence fills the crowd. The dream of representing their country on the showpiece event has come crashing down. They were hot favorites to qualify for the World Cup but they miss out narrowly from making it to the marquee event. This tense game was an absolute roller coaster ride from start to finish. It was filled with thrilling ups and downs, ebbs and flows, twists and turns that kept us all on the edge of our seats

    Watt to Muzarabani
    Floats it up on a full length and raps the pads, missing the leg stump by a mile but that doesn't stop him from screaming his lungs out and why not? Scotland are right on top and only a wicket away from a famous victory
    40.5
    1
    Watt to Chatara
    Heaved away into the acres of spaces at deep midwicket
    40.4
    0
    Watt to Chatara
    More flight on this occasion, lands it fuller on off, lunges forward, plants his front leg and dabbed to short cover
    40.3
    0
    Watt to Chatara
    Tossed up on a full length and it turns away outside off, stays back in his crease and steers it away to point region
    40.2
    0
    Watt to Chatara
    Lobbed up from round the wicket on a length and it straightens towards middle, goes back and defends it to the leg side
    40.1
    1
    Watt to Muzarabani
    Shuffles across his off stump and clips it across the line to the leg side
    39.6

    Sharif to Chatara
    Yorker right in the blockhole, relentless appeal for an lbw, he is begging, he is pleading but the umpire adjudges it not out. Scotland decide to seek second opinion. There is no bat involved as Chatara's heart beats faster, pitching in line, impact also in line but missing leg stump! Excellent decision from the umpire under huge pressure. That looked pretty adjacent in real time
    39.5
    1
    Sharif to Muzarabani
    Rams the yorker and follows the batter who was shimming down leg, he manages to dig it out as mid-on swoops to his left and cuts it off
    39.4
    0
    Sharif to Muzarabani
    On a length and zipping away outside off, attempts a late cut and is beaten
    39.3
    0
    Sharif to Muzarabani
    Length ball, gets a bit of inward seam movement towards middle, gets hold of it with a firm clunk down the turf
    39.2
    0
    Sharif to Muzarabani
    Swing and a miss! Tries to slug it across the line but got beaten by the clever change of pace
    39.1
    0
    Sharif to Muzarabani
    Rapid full toss thumps on the pads and deflects towards point, beats his flick
    38.6
    0
    Leask to Chatara
    Lobbed up, nice loop and lands it outside off, he flails at thin air
    38.5
    1
    Leask to Muzarabani
    Tossed up fuller on sixth stump line outside off, forces it away to long-on and is off the mark
    38.4
    W
    Leask to Burl
    One big shot too many? Tries to continue in the imperious fashion but Leask sticks to his guns, lures him to go for the slog sweep again, this time he didn't get underneath it and mistimes it to McMullen at midwicket. That looks like the last nail in the coffin. He is in despair, slowly walking back into the dressing room. Once again, Scotland manage to find ways to break partnership. I can't imagine what Burl is going through
    38.3
    6
    Leask to Burl
    Swept with power, lots of bottom hand! That left a dent, a slog sweep into the oblivion, right underneath and got all of it. All the way to cause delirium in the stands
    38.2
    4
    Leask to Burl
    Latches onto the loose delivery, stabbed out to cover boundary and it races away to the boundary
    38.1
    0
    Leask to Burl
    Throws the kitchen sink at it and is nowhere near the line of the ball, lobbed up, lots of flight and it spins away sharply outside off
    37.6
    0
    Sharif to Chatara
    Low full toss on the pads and he cuffs it away square of midwicket, he was halfway down the pitch and Burl sends him back
