Quite an emotional moment that for Kyle Coetzer and this, for sure, will be right at the top shelf in his 13-year-long international career so far. As he rightly pointed out, there will be lots of fans back home that will celebrate long into the night and will be cheering the Scots for the rest of the tournament. The games here in Muscat have all been equally thrilling and next, we move onto Sharjah for the final two games of group A. Do remember to join us for those. Until next time, cheers and goodbye!!
Kyle Coetzer | Scotland skipper: It's a great feeling. Congratulations to Zeeshan and Oman, they have been great. It's the opportunity to play at the biggest stage and you get to play the best of the best. The following back home has been immense. We have been through thick and thin in the last few years and guys have put in a lot of hard work to keep developing their game and the coaching staff has done an excellent job as well. As far as I'm aware, we are going into a slightly tougher team and there's no reason to fear. It's gonna be an exciting group, we will go into every game full of hope and will give our best. Someone going and getting a big score, Berrington did that in the last game and I guess we dropped a couple of catches and our bowling up front and at the death has been excellent, Mark Watt has been excellent. We will find time to celebrate just a little bit.
Zeeshan Maqsood | Oman skipper: This is not the end, we will come back strong and work on our strengths. We are not able to put good total on the board and when it's difficult to defend such a total we ended bowling short and few mistakes like that cost us. It was a tough game for him (Jatinder Singh) unfortunately he got run out and that put a little bit of pressure on others and in the middle overs we didn't score much and fell short. I feel sorry for Oman and we couldn't deliver what they were looking for. We are going to Namibia after this and we hope to do well there.
Josh Davey | Man of the Match (4-0-25-3): It's a great day for Scottish cricket. We have an early flight, so not too much, but there will be some celebration. It was a great occasion to showcase my skills, had some luck with the ball going to the fielders but we'll take it. The side has a lot of bases covered and the belief is there and we can cause some upset. T20 is about momentum, and if we carry it forward, we can do great things. There are some great teams in Group B and it will be a great opportunity to play against them.
21:12 local, 22:42 IST: Scotland have finished as the only unbeaten team in their group and their confidence should be sky high going into the next stage of the tournament. Skipper Kyle Coetzer hasn't had the best of times with the bat recently, but tonight he took charge and killed the chase inside 10 overs with a rollicking 28-ball 41 that included 2 fours and 3 sixes. The rest just played their part and it's been a complete team effort after restricting the home team to a modest total. Special mention to their superb fielding as well which ensured Oman never ran away with the game despite three of the top five finding some useful rhythm. So it will be Scotland and Bangladesh from Group B that will progress to the next stage then. The home team had their moments, but the loss against Bangladesh hurt them badly and despite having a healthy NRR they ended up on the wrong side of the result in their last 2 games.

Mohammad Nadeem to Berrington, SIX, thumped into the deep mid-wicket orbit and Scotland are through the Super-12. They will be playing Afghanistan next Monday in Sharjah. What a wonderful moment for the Scots...the dressing room looks cock-a-hoop and they offer a resounding reception to Berrington and Cross as they stroll back to the pavilion. Soon as Berrington hit this, he jumped in joy and pumped his fist before hugging his partner. Unparalleled joy.
Mohammad Nadeem to Berrington, FOUR, and there's the first of them! Clears his front leg and smacks the short ball over mid-wicket for a one-bounce boundary, the fielder in the deep had no chance...
