World Cup 2023 Qualifiers Highlights: West Indies' CWC 2023 dream ends after -wicket defeat to Scotland in Super Six tie

ICC World Cup 2023 Qualifiers Highlights: Scotland registered their first-ever ODI win against West Indies, ending WI's hopes of qualifying for World Cup 2023.

Two-time champions West Indies on Saturday crashed out of the race to qualify for the upcoming 2023 50-over World Cup in India, after Scotland shocked them by seven wickets in a Super Six match of the qualifier on Saturday. The champions of 1975 and 1979 editions, this is the first time in the 48 years of tournament history that West Indies won't feature among the top 10 teams in limited overs cricket. On Saturday, the West Indies once again produced a dismal show with the bat — 181 all-out in 43.5 overs — and Scotland showed no qualms in knocking off the target to win with seven wickets in hand and 6.3 overs to spare and pile up further ignominy on the two-time world champions.
