After almost three years and 145 matches it all comes down to this. A win for Oman would confirm their place in the top four of World Cricket League 2 and with it a place in the World Cup Qualifier. A defeat would see them level with Namibia and dependant on a superior NRR to secure their place. Two early wickets for left-arm spinner Shakeel Ahmed gives Oman an early edge. Steady progress by the hosts but no real impetus in the innings, batters getting starts but no one able to play the big innings that was required to post a really challenging total. Oman's place in the WCQ looks safe as it would take a 130 run defeat today to deprive them of it. They have made a nervous start though losing three early wickets. Need a partnership to settle the nerves. Oman steadying things as this becomes a 'game within a game'. All eyes on that magical 130 number. That's it, qualification confirmed for the WCQ in February, but left it too late to end their horrific run of losses though.

A century from Max O'Dowd who survived a huge appeal for a catch behind on 96 and was dropped behind on 97 - lbw on 106 and Bas De Leede out in similar fashion next ball! Skipper Scott Edwards takes up where O'Dowd left off with a run-a-ball unbeaten 94. A perfectly paced reply from UAE that saw Adeeb Usmani retire hurt in the forties, before returning to join Akshdeep Nath in a 93 run partnership that took his side home with an over to spare.

Max O'Dowd on a charge with a 79 ball century (10x4, 5x6) as the Oranje chase what looks like a below par UAE batting effort. But it has turned into a bit of a struggle for the Netherlands after O'Dowd's departure with Khuzaima Tanveer removing the middle order cheaply. Seven down with sixty still needed when Ayran Dutt clubs 3x4 and 2x6 get things moving again - overs not a problem. Excellent unbroken 8th wicket stand of 59 gets Netherlands home with plenty to spare - unbeaten 36's from both Dutt and Michael Levitt showcases the depth in the batting. Winning start for new coach Ashley Noffke.

Nepal lost seven wickets in the last five overs of their innings with Shah Faisal claiming a five-for off the final delivery. DS Airee and Rohit Paudel had added 139 for the fourth wicket before Airee's wicket precipated the collapse to the bowling of Faisal and Jay Odedra. The Oman chase going well with Jatinder Singh and Hammad Mirza sharing a century stand and counting for the second wicket. Partnership finally broken having added 158. With 12 overs to go 91 are needed. Can Nepal push up the required rate? 90 needed off last 10. And Mirza has also gone. quickly followed by the fourth. No time for the two new batters to settle with the rate creeping up. Wickets kept falling and despite the best efforts of Hussnain Shah with a few lusty blows, he received no support as Nepal edged to a ten-run victory.

A century from Yuvraaj Samra (117 balls, 11x4, 4x6) carried Canada to 219 before he was the fourth wicket to fall. No late surge from them as Sandeep Lamichhane took two in two and Lalit Rajbanshi claimed his fourth off the final delivery. Not the total Canada looked to be heading for and Nepal will be confident that they can chase it down. Nepali opener Arjun Kumal seemed to have things under control but he was sixth out with 63 needed off nine overs. Gulshan Jha and Karan KC added 22 of them, but three wickets in the 46th over from Sheel Patel including a run-out wrapped up the innings leaving Nepal's last hope Karan KC stranded on 17* . Great celebrations by the Canadians who snatched a win that looked unlikely for almost all of the Nepal innings.

Rohit Paudel top scorer again for Nepal but it was Karan KC with a late flurry of maximums that pushed the Nepali total past 250. Run out off the final delivery his 40 came off just 16 deliveries (4x6, 1x4). Oman immediately in trouble losing two wickets in the first three overs before a double strike from Lamichhane saw them 41-6. Skipper Vinayak Shukla and Jay Odedra added 83 for the seventh wicket but theirs were the only double figure scores in a disappointing batting display by Oman.

After a long rain delay the game started having been reduced to 20 overs per side. Only two overs were possible before further rain caused the game to be abandoned.

Scotland edged a dramatic one-wicket victory over the United Arab Emirates, reaching their target with just one ball remaining. UAE had posted 231 for eight from 40 overs, built around an excellent 116 from Adeeb Usmani, while Brandon McMullen took three for 30. Scotland were in deep trouble at two for two, but Richie Berrington made 39 and Michael Jones 44 before Matthew Cross steadied the chase with a crucial 66. Late runs from Mark Watt and Safyaan Sharif kept Scotland alive before Jasper Davidson helped see them over the line in a tense finish.

No play was possible, due to rain, in the opening match of the tri-series involving Scotland, UAE and Canada.

After batsmen had been struck on the helmet and body in the first few overs, umpires Roly Black and Harry Grewal deemed the pitch too dangerous to continue with Match Referee Phil Thompson confirming the decision.

Rain in Toronto caused the game to be abandoned before the Toss.

USA leapfrog Scotland back to the top of the table with a comfortable win today.

Namibia recovered from 89 for 5 to post 198 thanks primarily to a 6th wicket stand of 87 between top-scorer Louren Steenkamp 67 (professional at Coleraine) and skipper JJ Smit who made 43. The wickets were shared with three for McMullen and two apiece for Watt, Davidson and Jarvis. Rueben Trumpelmann struck two early blows to leave the contest evenly poised after the first powerplay. McMullen and Berrington put Scotland in total control with a third wicket stand of 112 and it should be plain sailing despite the stand being broken by Myburgh. Just 66 needed from 24 overs with seven wickets left. A deserved 100 from Brandon McMullen who hit 9 fours and 4 sixes in his 92-ball knock before retiring. No doubt about the result or the Man of the Match now. Mark Watt (27*) and Matty Cross (14*) ensure there is no late drama as Scotland end their tour on a high with a seven-wicket win.

With the recent rain making playing conditions at the Wanderers problematic to say the least, the final two games in the series are being played at the Namibia Cricket Ground. That hasn't phased Hammad Mirza who followed up his unbeaten century last time out against Namibia with 81 today, while for the hosts 21 year old Jack Brassell claimed the first four wickets to fall and finished with an excellent 4-22 from his ten over spell. Slow going for Oman after being asked to bat posting a vulnerable looking 218 in their 50 overs. Malan Kruger gone early in the chase but an 81 run second wicket partnership between Willem Myburg and Jan Frylinck, who added a further 52 for the third with Gerhard Erasmus eased the hosts within sight of victory. But with Muhammad Imran completing a 'five-for' and a late brace from Hassnain Shah it came down to 19 required off the final 3 overs with just 2 wickets in hand. A wicket for leg-spinner Shrivastava first ball off the eighteenth brought last man Jack Brassell to the crease to join Zane Green who took 10 off the first two balls of Shah's ninteenth over. Seven required from the last from Shrivastava and Green sweeps for 2, reverse sweeps for 2 and reverse sweeps a 6 to claim the nailbiting revenge victory for Namibia by the narrowest of margins.

Rain has plagued this series in Windhoek and today was no different with a long delay before any play was possible. When it finally started the match had been reduced to 20 overs per side and the conditions far from perfect, with equal amounts of sawdust and grass visible on the outfield. Scotland elected to field and but saw Jatinder Singh and Ashish Odedara give Oman a flying start adding exactly 100 in the opening 10 overs. Once the breakthrough had been made Scotland clawed their way back into the game taking wickets and stifling any chance of a second half surge by the middle and late order. Scotland struggled to match the early Omani momentum and had lost half the side for 75 in nine overs. No wag from the tail as they perished in the deep giving Hassnain Shah a four wicket haul. Two 'no-results' and a defeat for the Scots so far in this series who have suffered from the weather more that anyone in this WCL2 campaign.

The ground unpayable due to rain and the match was abandoned without a Toss.

Runs all down the order for Namibia with a late flurry from Zane Green and Dylan Leicher saw the hosts post what they hoped would be a defendable total in the still soggy conditions at the Wanderers. Three wickets for seamer Hassnain Shah and two for the slow left arm spin of Shakeel Ahmed the best of the Omani efforts with the ball. An unbeaten century from Hammad Mizra who added 124 in a sixth wicket partnership with Wasim Ali saw Oman claim the points, MIzra finishing the match in style with a maximum off the first ball of Heingo's final over.

A 124 run fifth wicket partnership between Louren Steenkamp and Zane Green rescued Namibia from a precarious 36-4 having been asked to bat by Scotland. A real struggle against the Scottish seamers early on with the opening 10 overs producing only 27 runs for the loss of Myburgh, Kruger and Frylinck. Scotland frustrated by that partnership and finally by the rain that saw them unable to chase what looked like being a below par score total from the hosts.
