FIRED-UP Chris Sole produced a searing spell of pace bowling to take Scotland to the brink of World Cup qualification with a thrilling win over Zimbabwe yesterday.
Defending a modest 234 in the crunch Super Six clash with the hosts in Bulawayo, the Scots needed early wickets to stay in contention for two vital points.
And Sole obliged in sensational style, reaching speeds of up to 94mph as he ripped through Zimbabwe’s top order with three key scalps.
His contribution put Doug Watson’s side on top and, despite a spirited fightback from the hosts, the Scots went on to clinch a 31-run victory.
A win over the Netherlands tomorrow wi l l now seal Scotland’s place at the global showpiece in India.
Sole, who claimed 3-33, said: “The best advice I was ever given was to bowl as fast as you can.
“I did that today and luckily enough I got a few wickets.
