What a finish to this exciting match,Ireland chasing 186 never looked in trouble and they managed to keep the required run rate below 10 all along. Needing just 7 off last over,they got O'Brien off the first ball and Scotland managed to stop Ireland one run short of what they needed. That ends the Ireland journey in this series, as Scotland takes on the hosts for couple of matches on Tuesday and Wednesday. Till then this is Vinod Gopani,signing off !
