Zimbabwe, now, cannot qualify if they lose tomorrow. In that case it's a shootout between Scotland and Netherlands.
If Zimbabwe win, it's all over for Scotland as well as Netherlands.

It was me, then I got shot down by someone who said it was impossible for it to rain in Zimbabwe during winter

What happens if it is a washout? Advantage Zim? Should we start doing our rain dances?

A washout would leave us at the mercy of the Scotland v Netherlands game.
7 Points - Zimbabwe
5 Points - Scotland
4 Points - Netherlands
It would knock the Dutch out, but then Scotland would have a great chance of qualifying as long as they beat Netherlands by any margin.
Zimbabwe must win, that is their only way of progressing to the WC.

We've had a good tournament.
Two slots were available that were expected to go to SL and WI.
We've knocked out WI.
Now we have a game to beat Scotland and get things sorted.
We couldn't really have asked for more at the start of the tournament.
We missed the chance to beat SL and we've done a whack of damage to our NRR in the super sixes.
But we have a clear path to the WC with a win over a team that we should beat, especially with home advantage.
C'mon Zim!
