The Scots trounced hosts Oman by 8 wickets to enter the Super 12 as toppers of Group B of the qualifying round.

They first bundled out Oman for 122 and then chased down the target with three overs to spare to make it a hat-trick of wins. While Leask (2/12), Josh Davey (3/25) and Safyaan Sharif (2/25) starred with the ball for Scotland, captain Kyle Coetzer (41) was top scorer in the chase. “…An opportunity for Scotland to test themselves against the best, the following back home is immense,” Coetzer said on his team’s qualification for the main round. Scotland will join India, Pakistan, New Zealand, Afghanistan

and another qualifier in Group 2 of the Super 12. Bangladesh, who finished second in qualifying Group B, will be in Group 1 of the Super 12 with England, Australia, South Africa, the West Indies and another qualifier.
