Talk of net run-rate calculations may have all but evaporated after England’s obliteration of Oman but a route to the T20 World Cup Super Eights remains for Scotland: beat Australia in St Lucia on Saturday night and they are through.
If so then Kyle Coetzer, their former captain, would consider it the greatest moment in their history, topping wins against Bangladesh and West Indies during the two previous T20 World Cups, plus that famous ODI victory over England at the Grange in 2018. It would also be further vindication for the expanded tournament in which all 20 teams were at the same starting line a fortnight ago.
