Scorer: Gopi Rangarajan | Commentator: Nikhil Kalro
Tanwir Afzal: Today we failed to build a platform at the start which cost us.
Preston Mommsen: We were fresh and executed our plans well. We prepared thoroughly and pulled back our lengths after researching their strong areas. They were 20-30 runs short of par and they will rue a couple of dismissals but that's cricket. We didn't take them lightly.
Man of the Match is Rob Taylor. "Wanted to put on a show for everyone watching and we did that today. We tried to put it in at a hard length and the whole unit bowled well."
Scotland advance to the finals of the World T20 Qualifier with this five-wicket win. A humbling defeat for Hong Kong, well and truly beaten by a quality side. They didn't have to sweat too much throughout the match, and Coetzer's early blitz put the game beyond the reach of Hong Kong.

Aizaz Khan to Mommsen, OUT, another wicket for HK. But all a bit too little, too late. Short ball down leg and Mommsen goes for the pull and gets a thick edge which is easily taken by the keeper
