Today 4 teams of ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier are playing with each other.
Ireland vs Scotland

It's so terrible result for Ireland as they lose his consecutive second match of world cup qualifiers, they lose against Oman and now against Scotland, I think Thier over confident cost them such a big defeat because they are well balanced amateur & experienced team compared to thier opponent. still they have opportunity to took top postion of his group table, hope they will learn from his mistakes and regain his form and position

It is true that Ireland are a step ahead of Scotland in terms of strength in the odi format, but still I think Scotland had the ability to win against Ireland.
And that's probably why I don't feel so terrible about Ireland's loss. To say, the Ireland team has become an unlucky team at the moment as they have failed to win even one of their last five matches. But whatever I say, today's match was full of excitement, the last moments were almost suffocating. Michael Leask today felt like he was playing a T20 match not ODI match. He stayed away from the century for a while with 91 runs off just 61 balls. Today's consistency of runrate ratio of Scotland was better than that of Ireland as we can see in the graph below. And I think that's why won this match.
