Canada win this game by 5 wickets. It was very clever batting from Canada and their experience showed in the end. So Canada end the group stages on 2 points. Thailand get the wooden spoon. Shabbir has just been named player of the match. Top scoring in Canada's innings with a very composed 36.
Its not the end for these two teams in the competition. Both of these teams will be in action on Monday in the semi-finals of the Shield competition. Canand will play Thailand. Zimbabwe will play Japan.
So that just leaves me to thank you you for following my coverage today. This is Justin Smyth saying goodbye from a sunny Hills ground.
