So this is us- Mohul and Arya- signing off from this game. We truly regret being unable to bring some of the live action to you. Do stay tuned here on Sportskeeda for more such exciting games coming your way!

SCOTLAND XI BEAT BELGIUM BY 11 RUNS.
Alex Hinkley 50 | Uzzair Shah 4/27
Jack Jarvis 39 | Jack Hogarth 2/21

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you due to the numerous technical errors that we faced, and we regret being unable to bring some of the live action to you all the way from Cartama, Spain.

Belgium looked like they were in with a shout, but it evaporated soon after Uzzair Shah came into the attack. Bagging three wickets in his first over, the gentle medium pacer broke the back of the Belgian chase, and after that, it was just a matter of time before the Scots started celebrating. It will be a while though, before they can head back to Edinburgh and sit down with a Scotch and a soda.

Belgium, for their part, did not do too badly with the bat. However, what came back to haunt them was the strategy that they always employing in such situations- trying to hit each and every ball out of the park. While it did come off at times, at others it led to the downfall of some of their top batting talents. We will now head to the next game of the day: the Eliminator. 

The chase is now going beyond the Belgium players. 7th wicket down. We are again facing some issues with the live broadcast, we will be back as and when the coverage improves. 

Some lusty blows by Ahmadi. Two consecutive sixes and despite losing 7 wickets the required rate is still under control.

5.4 Shaghari Shefat to Omid Rahimi, That has been smashed away from his presence for a maximum. Short of a length which sat up perfectly for a maximum. 

5.3 Shaghari Shefat to Saber Zakhil, Fuller-length delivery outside off. Zakhil throws the kitchen sink at that and ends up slicing that towards the deep point region, the fielder ran in quite a bit but couldn't quite keep it in play. 

Shaghari Sefat is in at number seven for Belgium.

The previous over, bowled by Uzzair Shah, has practically changed the game in Scotland XI's favour. When was the last time that you saw three wickets fall in one over? The Belgians know only one way to play, and that is by hitting the ball all over the park; sadly this has not worked well for them in this game. 

4.6 Uzzair Shah to Saber Zakhil, What a turn of events here. Two sixes and a wicket. Zakhil bags the 3rd of this over. Back of a length delivery well outside off shaping away from Zakhil. He tries to reach out for that and ends up getting a bottom edge which has been safely taken by the keeper. Was a sharp catch.

Saber Zakhil c Callum Garden b Uzzair Shah 12 (3 balls)

4.5 Uzzair Shah to Saber Zakhil, back to back maximums for Saber Zakhil. What a pick up shot. Was on the pads and Zakhil gets into action, swivels a bit and helps it away over the deep square leg fence for a maximum. 

4.4 Uzzair Shah to Saber Zakhil, What a way to start your innings. Right in the hitting arc and Zakhil gets into the act with a maximum. Was a short one which came on nicely and Zakhil picks it up and pulls it away well over the deep midwicket fence for a maximum. 

4.3 Uzzair Shah to Sherry Butt, One more bites the dust and Shah has two wickets in three balls. Angles it into the pads of Sherry Butt. He tries to pick that up and deposit that over the deep square leg fence. Was into the shot a bit too early and ends up getting a leading edge which has been taken at the deep third man region. The fielder ran in well and held onto that. The game is turning in this over.

Sherry Butt c Jasper Davidson b Uzzair Shah 16 (9 balls)

4.2 Uzzair Shah to Omid Rahimi, Back of a length delivery around the off-stump channel and that has been fatted away towards the long-on region for a single. 

4.1 Uzzair Shah to Muneeb Muhammad, Goes with the angle and Muneeb Muhammad has holed out at short third man. Coming from around the wicket Uzzair Shah, Muhammad swings across the line and ends up getting a leading edge which has been safely pouched by the short third man fielder.

Muneeb Muhammad c Alex Hinkley b Uzzair Shah 9 (7 balls)
