Scorer: @Thilak_Rama | Commentator: Danyal Rasool
That's it from Peter and me, guys. Thanks so much for joining, and hang around for Oman against Bangladesh, please!
"We know PNG with their attack can really squeeze second half if they've got a score on the board. So we tried to put a score on the board and put them under pressure. "Kyle Coetzer says."PNG put us in the pressure second half. The way Norman came out and struck the ball, it's so very dangerous.
"Getting exposure, playing more games and testing ourselves against quality opposition would be good. If we can get more exposure we might be able to express ourselves better," PNG skipper Assad Vala says. "Scotland are a really good bowling team and they put us under pressure and we crumbled. The lower order brought us back into it."
Richie Berrington is the Player of the Match. "We got just over par on that wicket," he says. "At first we didn't have a target in mind, and just wanted to get used to the wicket. Thankfully we managed to get that big partnership which was quite key in the end."

Davey to Soper, OUT, slower bouncer, but has he nicked this through to the keeper? Dharmasena doesn't think so, but Scotland have reviewed. Yep, there's a feather on that, and that, finally, seals the game, and PNG's fate. Scotland win by 17 runs, and go top in this group. PNG's hopes of qualifying for the second round are almost over.

Davey to Soper, SIX, made good connection with that, though. Again in the slot, but even so, it required some absolutely exquisite timing to send it flying over cow corner for an 86m six! Scotland just can't kill PNG off

Davey to Soper, no run, swing and a miss from Soper. It was in the slot, but Soper couldn't get any connection on that attempted carve over cover

Wheal to Morea, SIX, oh wow! The number 11 has just beautifully timed his first ball, sending it sailing over long-on for a huge six!. 24 to get off the final six balls now - it's somehow still flickering, this PNG side

Wheal to Soper, 1 run, full and straight from Wheal, Soper gets off strike to cover
