Islamabad\/Harare, March 22(TNS):<\/strong> West Indies got over the line courtesy rain as they survived elimination scare against Scotland on Wednesday and defeated them by 5 runs on D\/L method in a do or die game at the Harare Sports Club.
\nScotland got off to an impressive start as they got 2 early wickets and blew away the top order of windies as Chris Gayle and Shai Hope went back to the pavilion for an early exit.
\nAlthough a 121 run partnership between Evin Lewis and Marlon Samuels steadied the ship for the windies as they both scored hefty knocks of 66 and 51 respectively.
\nNevertheless the collapse started for windies after the partnership was broken as Evin Lewis got lbw by a menacing delivery of Bradley Wheal.
\nWindies lost 3 wickets in the space of just 12 runs as their middle order collapsed at the big stage.

\n
Safyaan Sharif and Bradley Wheal grabbed three wickets each, as West Indies the two time world cup champions were bowled out for a meager score 198.
\nScotland in reply went off to a nervy start in the run chase as they lost 3 crucial wickets in the power-play and got bogged down at 35-3.
\nAlbeit small partnerships between Berrington and Macleod,(42) and then Berrington and Munsey,(38) left West Indies staring straight down towards elimination.
\nScotland was cruising at 125-5 and West Indies were searching for a desperate breakthrough, as heavy rain intervened the play.
\n130 runs were the par-score in 35.2 overs and Scotland fell just 5 runs short of it culminating them to a heart breaking exit.
\nTwo umpiring decisions raised eyebrows of the spectators and the experts, as some inquired especially in the case of Ritchie Berrington that the ball was going leg-side in the DRS.
\nOn Thursday the last spot for the world cup 2019 will be decided as Zimbabwe will take on U.A.E. A victory for Zimbabwe will give them a straight ticket to the World Cup next year in England.
\nAny slip up from the Zimbabweans will mean that either Ireland or Afghanistan will leapfrog them in second place for a dramatic qualification as they will clash each other on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
