An impressive win for Zimbabwe. Scotland's batters, apart from Coetzer and MacLeod failed to put on anything serious, and threw away their wickets. Zimbabwe had a little wobble when they were 44-3, but after lunch, they built their innings back and deserved to fully win. It was a superb performance from batting, to bowling to their fielding.
