Scotland advance into ICC final
Intercontinental Cup semi-final, Abu Dhabi:
Scotland 300-5 dec & 401-7 dec drew with Kenya 95 & 163-4

Kyle Coetzer
Coetzer hit an unbeaten 133 to set up the declaration
Scotland advanced to the final of the ICC Intercontinental Cup after having the best of a draw with Kenya.

Bonuses available in the three-day match saw Scotland take 19 points to Kenya's 10.5, and they now face Canada.

Despite setting Kenya a massive 607 to win after declaring on 401-7, the Scots managed to take just four wickets.

Kyle Coetzer was the pick of the Scottish batsmen with 133 not out, while Colin Smith made 93 and skipper Craig Wright 59.

Paul Hoffmann was awarded the man of the match after astounding first innings figures of 5-5 in 5.5 overs.

Resuming the final day 242-5, Scotland opted to secure the stalemate and although Colin Smith was out seven short of a century, Coetzer finished unbeaten.

Coetzer then bowled five overs for a single run but Kenya passed their first-innings total after 35 overs with just one wicket down.

The game was finally concluded when a young Kenya side, with no hope of forcing victory, conceded the final hour at 163-4 after 52 overs.

Canada advanced with 19.5 points from their draw with United Arab Emirates, who gained 15.5.

But the hosts were in the hunt chasing 337 until medium-pacer Umar Bhatti struck with 5-43 in the final session, leaving UAE 194-9 at the close.
