    Played a decent 20 overs but collapsed in the final 3 overs with something like 15 for 6.
    Good opening bowling dismissing ura for 2 in 2nd over.

    PNG are lively in the field but they really have very little to offer with the bat or ball. Scotland strolling to victory here.

    Was a pretty entertsining game actually. Scotland losing 6-14 in the last 2 overs, of their inning and the PNG giving them a bit of a scare after being 5 down by the end of the powerplay, but overall it was a game that Scotland were expected to win.

    Anyhow, time to focus on the football...

    Scotland bowled Oman all out for 122.

    So Scotland need 123 to win. Basically a run a ball will do it

    And Scotland win, 3 wins from 3 played, including one over Bangladesh, ranked 6th in the world.

    Which means they will be in the Group with Pakistan, NZ, India & Afghanistan, as well as the winner of Nambia v Ireland tomorrow

    Ireland not doing so flash at the moment though. 8/125

    Really, they had a solid start, but got bogged down then lost a clutter of wickets, so not sure they're gonna have enough on the board, so they'll need something pretty special with the ball and take all their chances in the field if they are going to get through here.

    Ireland being 0/66 at one point to finish their 20 overs at 8/125 would be pretty disappointing.

    Guess we are gonna find out, Namibia inning just started.
