Scots in late slip

SCOTLAND’s Cricket World Cup qualification hopes suffered a blow when they were forced to settle for a tie in a last-over thriller against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo.

Superb bowling by Safyaan Sharif and Michael Leask helped dismiss the hosts for 210, leaving Scotland needing just two runs from the final six deliveries.

But after Blessing Muzarabani bowled a wide to level, Brad Wheal edged the next ball behind meaning both teams will carry three points into the Super Six.
