Windies skipper, Jason Holder, says they have gone through a lot in the last couple of years and it was not easy. Mentions he is pleased that his team got over the line. Credits the way Scotland played in this tournament. He states they have not yet thought about the World Cup as he still aims to win this first. Ends by saying they have got time to prepare for the World Cup and they will be ready for it.

Scotland skipper, Kyle Coetzer, says it is a tough ending after all the hard work put in by them. Mentions there are a few decisions which did not go their way and it proved costly. He feels the bowling has been very good throughout the tournament. Appreciates how good the Windies seam attack has been.

Man of the Match, Safyaan Sharif says their bowling unit has been outstanding and as a result, been producing good results. States that he has been working harder this time in comparison to the last qualifier and that's why is performing so well. On the result, clearly upset, he feels the team is obviously disappointed but there's nothing they can do about it other than try and take the positives.

Windies will be ecstatic to say the least. They were running a serious risk of possibly not playing their first ever World Cup. Finished the group stages strong, suffered a blow against Afghanistan in their opening Super Sixes game, but then bounced back well against Zimbabwe and today, did just about enough to get across the finish line. Plenty to work on for them still, but it is a time to celebrate for now.

A sad end to Scotland's hopes of making it through to the World Cup. And to be denied by the rain gods and a wrong decision would be something that would hurt them even more. Today, they bowled well to begin with after winning the toss. Other than the 121-run stand between Lewis and Samuels, they ran through the Windies batting line-up and wrapped them up for a below par score. Lost early wickets when they came out to bat, but a couple of solid stands put them back on course. The unfortunate decision against Richie Berrington hurt them, as it could have affected their position in terms of the DLS Method. They bow out of the tournament, but they can be proud of themselves. Made it through to the Super Sixes, played some good cricket against the teams in the tournament and even took it close today, only to be undone by the rain. They can take heart from their performances and build for the future.

Update 1640 local time - Well there you have it. The umpires have called it off. The match is over and Scotland are out. They lose by 5 runs. WINDIES ARE THROUGH AND QUALIFY FOR THE 2019 WORLD CUP!

As things stand, the advantage lies with the Windies. Scotland are 5 runs behind the DLS par score. If things don't resume, then Jason Holder and his men will qualify for the 2019 World Cup. So, the Scots will hope that these dark clouds pass by and pass by quickly. It's coming down harder than it was a few minutes ago. We'll keep you guys posted.

Update 1605 local time - Well, it's rather unfortunate that play has been stopped. The game was in an enticing situation, nobody would have liked it to stop. But since it has, let us have a little recap as to what's gone down so far. With a low total on the board, the Windies needed early wickets and that's exactly what they got. Struck early with 3 wickets inside the first ten overs and swung the momentum in their favour. But after that, there was a fightback. First, Berrington and MacLeod put up 42 runs between them, which was followed by another solid stand between Berrington and Munsey. Both partnerships were broken by Ashley Nurse, albeit the latter should have stood.

Ashley Nurse to George Munsey. Flatter on off, cut down towards third man for a run.

Ashley Nurse to Michael Leask. Shortish outside off, the batsman chops it towards covers for a run.

Jason Holder to Michael Leask. Tries something different by bowling it a little slower outside off, it is driven through covers for a run.

Jason Holder to Michael Leask. Up in the air... but safe! Another short ball on middle, Leask once again goes for the pull but mistimes it towards deep mid-wicket where there is no fielder in position and the batsmen run two.

Jason Holder to Michael Leask. Another bouncer and Leask goes for the pull again but does not connect.

Jason Holder to Michael Leask. FOUR! Up and over! Streaky but Leask will take it. A huge risk by Leask but it pays off. A short ball on middle, Leask goes for the pull but gets a top edge which goes over the keeper and into the fence. 79 from 93 needed.

Jason Holder to Michael Leask. Shortish outside off, cut to point.
