SCO VS ZIM - 12th Match, Group B, ICC Mens T20 World Cup 2022

All done with the qualifiers! It is time to get the World Cup underway from tomorrow, we start off with a repeat of last year's final - as the hosts Australia take on New Zealand. Join us then, we'll be ready nice and early. Goodbye for now!

Craig Ervine | Zimbabwe captain: I don’t think anyone can explain what this means. To have the whole country behind us for the last week, it’s wonderful to repay their support. The support for us has been special, looking forward to traveling around Australia and having this kind of support.

Richie Berrington | Scotland captain: I felt we were 25-30 runs short with the bat. With a bit more runs on this surface, we could have made it very tough. Disappointing we couldn't get that momentum. We can be proud of some of the performances we have put in, a lot of positives to take back.

Sikandar Raza | Player of the Match: Full credit to Scotland for making things tough, it was pretty cut-throat. It is pretty satisfying and humbling, it is an emotional moment as well. Credit to the two youngsters for staying out till the end and finishing it. I told Craig [Ervine] that give me 8-10 balls to get going, but you are going to be the one to win us this game. The numbers of our supporters may be small but if you hear the noise you won’t feel that way, they carry Zimbabwean cricket home and overseas as well. Very happy for them.

22:11 Local Time, 11:11 GMT, 16:41 IST: So there we have it, Zimbabwe take the final spot in the Super 12s. And they had to really work for it today. Chasing a meagre 133, they were given a scare by the Scots as Chakabva and Madhevere were sent packing within the first two overs. Sean Williams fell cheaply as well, holing out to deep square leg. But two veteran batters, two batters who have been the backbone of Zimbabwe cricket for the past decade or so saved the day once again. Craig Ervine and Sikandar Raza calmed everything down after a shaky start, as Raza attacked when possible while Ervine anchored the innings. The Scottish spinners couldn't provide the same impetus as Zimbabwe did in their middle overs, allowing the chasing side to be ahead of the curb. Raza fell after a crucial cameo of 40 runs, and Ervine fell after scoring his 50. But by that time, the equation was heavily in favour of Zimbabwe, and the youngsters Shumba and Burl took them home. For Scotland, they'll reflect on their batting for today, maybe they were 10-15 runs short but they gave Zimbabwe a real run for their money. Unfortunately, their journey ends today while Zimbabwe play on in the Super 12s. Stick around for the presentations.

Mark Watt to Ervine, out Caught by MacLeod!! Is there a twist in the tale? Muted celebrations from the Scots but internally they'd be buzzing! Pitched up on off, Ervine shuffled away to try and lift his drive over the infield. Didn't time it anywhere close to as well as needed, chips it tamely towards a backwards running mid-off fielder. A needless risky shot from the veteran batter, he'll hope that'll not cost his side. Ervine c MacLeod b Mark Watt 58(54) [4s-6]
