Netherlands have beaten Scotland soundly by eight wickets and 24.1 overs to spare. The Dutch bowlers put in a disciplined performance to restrict Scotland to 136 and ten Doeschate and Zuiderant polished off the run chase. Netheralnds finish their World cup campaign with a win and Scotland have three defeats to reflect on.

Pleasant scenes at St Kitts where the Dutch and Scottish players are meeting their fans. Little children are handing out roses to the Netherlands players. It's the end of the World Cup for both these teams.

That's it from me, George Binoy, for today. There's another match in progress at the moment in St Lucia where New Zealand are playing Canada. Do keep your eye on that. Thank you for joning me for today's game, Cheers!
