Scotland's seventh rain-off of World Cup qualifying cycle adds to points pressure

Scotland's ODI against the UAE was abandoned without a ball bowled at Forfarshire Cricket Club on 3 August — their seventh no-result in this Cricket World Cup League 2 cycle. Scotland sit second, behind the USA and just ahead of the Netherlands. Each washout locks the table in a competition where final position determines World Cup qualifying advancement. Canada play the UAE on Wednesday and Scotland on Friday.
