That's it from Peter and me, guys. Thanks so much for joining, and hang around for Oman against Bangladesh, please!
"We know PNG with their attack can really squeeze second half if they've got a score on the board. So we tried to put a score on the board and put them under pressure. "Kyle Coetzer says."PNG put us in the pressure second half. The way Norman came out and struck the ball, it's so very dangerous.
"Getting exposure, playing more games and testing ourselves against quality opposition would be good. If we can get more exposure we might be able to express ourselves better," PNG skipper Assad Vala says. "Scotland are a really good bowling team and they put us under pressure and we crumbled. The lower order brought us back into it."
Richie Berrington is the Player of the Match. "We got just over par on that wicket," he says. "At first we didn't have a target in mind, and just wanted to get used to the wicket. Thankfully we managed to get that big partnership which was quite key in the end."

Swapnil Singh: "Last 2 overs: 15 runs, 6 wickets !!!"
Indeed, and that has seen Scotland lose their way slightly. It looked as if they were nailed on for 180-190 when Cross and Berrington were going along their merry way. But PNG, to their credit, upped their bowling and fielding game massively towards the last five or six overs, and made regular inroads into the Scotland batting. Rewarded richly by keeping Scotland somewhat within reach. Can their batsmen now back them up? Join Peter in about 10 minutes to find out

Himal Koirala: "Not only kenya or nepal, Danyal. Look other smaller associate nations. Vanuatu, Fiji, Uganda, Tanzania, Malaysia, Bermuda, Canada and heck even Italy. If you look at their cricketing potential, it's huge. And there are fewer and fewer matches for low tier associate nations every year. Unless ICC is keen to push non test nations cricket up. Cricket will not truly be a global sport."
