The ongoing ICC ODI World Cup Qualifiers are underway in Zimbabwe. The tournament has so far seen some interesting encounters, bringing back-to-back defeats and first win for Scotland in their only match so far in the tournament. The Day 4 of the WC Qualifier saw a nail-biter as Scotland won by a wicket.
Just seven runs needed off the final over, Scotland’s Mark Adair smashed full - straight over long-on for a four, with three runs needing with five balls. The next ball had all the drama in the match as the bowler Mark Adair pulled out of his delivery stride, attempting for a run-out at the non-striker’s end. However, Leask, who was placed at the non- striker’s end just moved out of the crease but quickly returned after Adair pulled out.
However, all was normal after this, video of the same is doing rounds on social media. Eventually, Scotland pulled off a stunning win in a last ball thriller, registering a win by a wicket. With this Ireland lost their second consecutive match, slimming their chances of advancing to the next stage.
Scotland will next face UAE and Oman over the next four days at the Bulawayo Athletic Club, Bulawayo. Meanwhile, Ireland will next face Sri Lanka on June 25 at the Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo.
