Live Score, ICC World Cup 2018 Qualifier Super Sixes, West Indies vs Scotland: Marlon Samuels, Evin Lewis Revive West Indies vs Scotland

After a four-wicket win against Zimbabwe, the two-time World Cup winners West Indies are now top of the Super Six table ahead of their final match against Scotland on Wednesday. The winner of Wednesday's match between the Windies and Scotland will qualify for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 and if Zimbabwe beat UAE on Thursday, then they will claim the second qualifying spot. Chasing 290 to win, the West Indies reached their target with six balls to spare after surviving a worrying mid-innings collapse. Zimbabwe's fate is also still in their hands despite a first loss of the competition, as victory over the United Arab Emirates on Thursday would still secure qualification. West Indies coach Stuart Law  praised captain Jason Holder's bowling display, after his team chased down 290 to beat Zimbabwe. (Live Scorecard)

12:30 IST: TOSS: Scotland win toss, opt to field against West Indies in Harare

12:25 IST: Hello and welcome to the Live updates from the ICC World Cup Qualifier match between West Indies and Scotland in Harare.

On the other hand, if Afghanistan defeat the UAE on Tuesday, Scotland defeat the Windies on Wednesday and the UAE upset Zimbabwe on Thursday, then the Windies and either Afghanistan or Ireland will finish on equal points and net run-rate will decide which side joins Scotland for the World Cup. In another scenario, if the Windies finish on eight points following a victory over Scotland, Afghanistan defeat the UAE and the UAE upsets Zimbabwe, then the Ireland versus Afghanistan match will be a shoot-out for the second qualifier behind the Windies.
