West Indies win by 5 runs (D/L Method) against Scotland. Chasing 199 runs, Scotland had early hiccups but they soon got the resistance and looked steady in the run chase before rain played a spoilsport. Earlier, Scotland wrapped up West Indies innings for 198. With the win, West Indies have made it to the World Cup, which is being hosted in England next year. The contest was called off around 30 minutes after the players had left the field, allowing the West Indies to avoid a major upset.
