    Considering PNG were 29-7 at one point, they did not badly.

    No, you are incorrect.

    My money is on Scotland losing and being eliminated and Bangladesh going on to win the whole thing winning all their next games, making them champions and only losing to Scotland.

    Jip, sticky this.

    BBC says “Scotland must win to guarantee progress” which implies that they don’t have to win. Can’t see how losing can see them end up improving on their net run rate and overtaking Oman’s? Maybe one day I’ll bother to read how it’s calculated.

    If Bangladesh had won by fewer than 3 runs then Scotland could still have qualified even if they lost.

    Hypothetically if Scotland lose but score a huge total they could overtake Bangladesh according to cricinfo.
