Michael Leask helped Scotland to a stunning 31-run victory over Zimbabwe on Tuesday to set up a winner-takes-all clash with the Netherlands for a place at the World Cup.

Sri Lanka became the first of the top two teams in the Super Six table to have qualified for the October-November World Cup in India when they beat Zimbabwe on Sunday.

"The way we came out and showed faith in the second innings and get those early wickets was fantastic." "I thought we did well to restrict them to 230. Unfortunately that first initial spell from Sole really put us on the back foot and just made it hard for us to recover from that position." Three other batsmen - Matthew Cross , Brandon McMullen and George Munsey - all got into the 30s, but failed to build on their time at the crease.
