Scotland knocked out hosts Zimbabwe from 2023 ODI World Cup qualifiers after an improbable 31-run win in their Super Six match on July 4.

Put to bat first, Scotland managed to put up a respectable score of 234/8 in what was a must-win encounter for both sides.

Michael Leask top-scored for the Scots with 48 runs.

Chasing 235, the hosts got off to the worst possible start with opener Joylord Gumbie getting out for a golden duck courtesy of a Chris Sole delivery.

Chris Sole then went on to complete a 3-wkt haul for Scotland which saw Zimbabwe stutter to 37/4.

However, it was Ryan Burl (83) who kept the dream alive for Zimbabwe till the end, but his dismissal by Michael Leask shattered all hopes for the home side and eventually the hosts were eliminated from the World Cup qualifiers.
