There is nothing to talk about the hosts though, their bowling was poor giving away easy runs and allowing the Scots to reach a huge score on this wicket. Their batting was worse as they lost wickets in a heap and did not get even close to their target. They will be disappointed with this performance and with this loss, UAE are out of contention for a spot in the ICC T20 World Cup.
The Scots bowling was even better as they bowled out the hosts for a cheap score and gained qualification for the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia. They made good use of their slower balls and made the batsmen dance to their tunes.
Scotland did not give the hosts a chance. It all started with the partnership between Kyle Coetzer and George Munsey stitching a partnership of 87 before Coetzer was holed out. Things went further south when George Munsey fell as Richie Berrington came out and played a blistering innings of 48 off just 18 balls helping them reach a total of 198 runs.
A thumping victory for Scotland sees them qualify for the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia! All smiles in their camp and their few supporters in the stadium are up on their feet applauding the effort.
