That's it from this game then! Action from this trip series continues on Friday as the Dutch will be in action against the Irish. That game will begin at 1430 IST (0900 GMT). Till then, goodbye and take care.
Andy Balbirnie has been given the MAN OF THE MATCH AWARD!
Scotland just could not produce with the ball in this game! Also, have to say, the wicket got a lot easier to bat on! There was not a lot of movement and the ball came onto the bat nicely. Still though credit to them to get it down to the last over.
Quite a comfortable win in the end! Yes, it did go to the last over, there did seem a little bit of panic amongst the Irish batters towards the end but it was quite comfortable throughout. The openers got them off to a very good start before Stirling fell. Andy Balbirnie continued, and he got good support from Lorcan Tucker! Both scored half tons and that stand more or less killed the game. There were wickets towards the end but Ireland managed to keep their calm and get over the line.
