A washout here will help Scotland get a point and assuming they would have lost, will actually save them from losing rating points.

If they beat Namibia on Friday and then go on to beat Oman, I guess they will be very close to overtaking Zimbabwe on the Rankings even if they lose to Australia.

Namibia have played a lot more games, the best result for Zimbabwe would be for Namibia to beat Scotland and then go on to lose to Aus and Eng. Or otherwise for Scot to beat Nam but then lose to Oman.

Biggest threat is Netherlands. They will most likely beat Nepal, and with BD, SL, and SA...they are almost guaranteed one upset win.

World cup planned at the beginning of their rainy season.
They must have got ZC admin to help them fuck it up.

Lucky reduction for England. Scotland were about to be their first banana. Bloody annoying.

Archer and Woods both capable of 150. That's some scary shit. Archer looks like he's bowling at 70% and yet he's bowling rockets.

With due respect to the Dutch, I think they won't be able to pull off more than a win there and given that they are quite low on rating points 184 as opposed to Zimbabwe's 192,.I don't think a win over nepal and say Ban/SL will get them through... I don't think they are beating RSA this time , no way, and they won't beat both SL and Ban... May be one of them but not both.
