Safyaan Sharif starred for Scotland with the ball, recording his maiden ODI five-for, and Scotland seemed to be cruising in pursuit of 211 during Richie Berrington and George Munsey‘s 77-run stand. But Berrington’s dismissal for 47 gave Zimbabwe the chance they needed, and they chipped away to reduce Scotland to 171 for 8. Mark Watt’s brave hitting took Scotland to the brink, but when he fell in the penultimate over, the match turned again. Yet more drama was to follow, as Blessing Muzarabani started the final over with a wide to bring the teams level, but then had Brad Wheal caught behind with his next delivery to spark wild celebrations.
