West Indies beat Scotland by 5 runs to qualify for 2019 World Cup

West Indies qualified for the ICC World Cup after struggling past a gritty Scotland by five runs via Duckworth-Lewis-Method in a Super Six match of the Qualifier at Harare last night. 

Chasing 199 for a place in the next year's World Cup, Scotland were 125 for five in 35.2 overs when a heavy downpour prevented further play in the



match. 

While the result ended Scotland's hopes of featuring in their second successive World Cup and fourth overall since 1999, Afghanistan and Ireland are now back in contention if rain affects today's match between the United Arab Emirates and Zimbabwe. 

If there is no result, then net run-rate will determine the second qualifier behind the Windies.
