Scotland qualified for the Semi Finals, with their victory over the Netherlands in their second game, and look in a strong position to win their group.

The two semi finals & final will be played tomorrow.

So Ireland will play Scotland in the second semi-final today with the winners playing Afghanistan in the final later today.

Ireland beat Scotland and then got hammered by Afghanistan by ten wickets in the final.
