Pacer Tendai Chatara led a spectacular bowling show with figures of 4-1-14-2 as Zimbabwe restricted Scotland to a below-par 132 for six.
Chatara, who also became the first from Zimbabwe to take 50-plus wickets in T20 Internationals, checked the run flow with his accurate bowling.
Left-arm pacer Richard Ngarava (2/28) was a tad expensive, but he also gave a twin blow to Scotland who never managed to get going after captain Richie Berrington opted to bat.
In reply, Zimbabwe cantered home in 18.3 overs with their star all-rounder Sikandar Raza slamming a 23-ball 40, studded with three fours and two sixes. Raza earlier chipped in with 1/20 with his off-spin to be adjudged man-of-the-match.
"I don't think anyone could explain what it means. We've had the whole country behind us," Zimbabwe captain Craig Ervine said about making Super 12 for the first time.
