Ireland have really won this match at a canter. They have won by 7 wickets with 102 balls remaining. Scotland's target was never challenging enough and Ireland's middle order which failed in Fridays game really performed today. We are just having the presentation on the field with Ireland receiving the World Cricket League winners trophy.

So that just leaves me to thank you for following my coverage today. This is Justin Smyth saying goodbye from a sunny Stormont ground.
