The Scots were robbed. It would have been fun to see England chase the revised target of 109 in 10 overs, but it was not to be. They'd probably have got them with Brad Wheal & Brad Currie bowling.

Who knows what England's run chase would have been like. The points being shared in that game could have huge ramifications for the latter stages if both manage to beat Oman and Namibia but lose to Australia. Or we could even have a situation where Scotland pick up 2 wins but England have one of the games against Oman or Namibia abandoned.

It might be more accurate to say Pakistan lost to the USA, giving their pathetic bowling at the end of the match.

I didn't watch it, but saw the scorecard. Did Pakistan really manage to concede 7 wides in the super over ?

England lose by 36 runs. Scotland firm favourites to progress from the group now and Matthew Mott's days must surely be numbered.
Earlier, South Africa recovered from 12-4 to chase down 104 to beat Netherlands by 4 wickets.

Scotland have't played Australia yet and will probably loose by more than 36 runs. That would mean net run rate. Scotland seem to have the batting to compete in this tournament. The bowlers are a question mark, though. It'll be interesting to see how Australia approach the game, knowing a reasonably close win may well knock England out. England should beat Namibia and Oman but really they need to absolutely dominate those games.

England bowl Oman out for 47 in just 13.2 overs. A clear effort to boost the run rate rather than just win here.

Australia and Scotland didn't bowl them out either! Not that that affects the table standings Two balls in and two sixes 12-0 And then a wicket!

England chase down the target in just 19 balls. The run rate should be looking a lot healthier now.
Now we wait and see if Australia will try and tank against Scotland.
