Scotland knocked out hosts Oman to top Group B and enter the main draw of a T20 World Cup for the first time in the nation's cricketing history on Thursday.
Scotland made history on Thursday as they reached the main draw of the T20 World Cup for the first time in history by beating Oman by 8 wickets in their final Group B game at Al Amerat. The Scotts topped Group B with 3 wins out of 3 in the preliminary round to qualify for the Super 12s along with Bangladesh.
Josh Davey (3-25) led Scotland's disciplined bowling as they restricted Oman to a below-par 122 despite cameos by Aqib Ilyas (37) and Zeeshan Maqsood (34). Coetzer then laid the foundation for Scotland's victory with a rapid 41 before Richie Berrington and Matthew Cross (26 not out) completed the chase with three overs to spare.
