Scotland and Canada kept apart in semi-finals

Scotland will play meet the qualifier from the Africa region - in all likelihood Kenya - while Canada will face the winner of the Asian group - either UAE, Malaysia or Nepal - in the semi-finals of the Intercontinental Cup in Sharjah in November. The draw was made at Edgbaston during the Kenya v Pakistan ICC Champions Trophy match.

The decider in the African group will take place in Nairobi between October 1 and 3 when Kenya host Namibia. The Asian group's final game is between Malaysia and UAE in Kuala Lumpur between September 17 and 19.

The semi-finals will take place in the United Arab Emirates from November 16 to 18, with the three-day final starting on November 21.

Scotland was the first Associate Member to qualify for the semi-finals, defeating Ireland by eight wickets in Dublin to win the European group. Canada was the second country to qualify, drawing the final match against Bermuda in Toronto and so squeezing out USA by three points.
