Scotland have thoroughly enjoyed their time on home soil in the past couple of weeks, and have put the disappointment of their defeat to the Netherlands in Zimbabwe firmly behind them.

While they will not be at the 50-over World Cup in India later this year, they have qualified for the 2024 T20 World Cup, and in beating Ireland today, they ended this event on a real high.

That's all from me today - thanks for your company!

For his remarkable figures of 5-13, player of the match could only go to Brad Currie of Scotland. He has been speaking post-match:

"I didn't even dream about that last night, but it was superb. I tried to keep it quite simple - lots of slower balls.

"I'm not going to forget that clanger at the end - that's the perfectionist in me.

"I've got to get on the plane to the World Cup first, but it's a great feeling."

We'll bring you reaction from the post-match presentation very shortly...

Brad Currie makes his first mistake of the afternoon, dropping a high catch from the final ball, but it matters not - Scotland win a gripping encounter by eight runs, and have won this T20 World Cup qualifier.

They won all six of their games in Edinburgh, and were excellent in doing so.

Two more runs from the next two deliveries.

Keep your foot behind the line, Safyaan Sharif!

One into the off-side, and then one into the leg-side.

16 needed from four.

Brad Currie closes out the over with aplomb, and gets a massive round of applause from the home crowd.

Ireland's 10th wicket pair need 18 from the final six deliveries...

Brad Currie - take a bow son!

He comes back into the attack and removes Mark Adair - a big top-edge well held by George Munsey at backward point.

Adair goes for 72, and Currie now has remarkable figures of 5-13 from 3.2 overs!

Mark Adair looks firmly in command.

Six more over long-on finishes the 18th over, and Ireland now need 20 from the last two overs.

Scotland need Adair out - they turn to Brad Currie...

Brad Currie is having a superb game so far. Four wickets up top, and he pulls off a brilliant stop on the boundary - palming back a ball that looked destined to go for six.

Adair isn't put off though. A top-edge clears short fine leg and skips away for four, before he muscles a big six over Main's head.

He's batted incredibly well, and there's more to come, you feel.

Two instances of brilliant ground-fielding from Brad Currie prevent Mark Adair boundaries, to the delight of the well-refreshed home fans.

Nine runs come from the over in total - Ireland now need 38 from the last three overs.

It's tense here.

Barry McCarthy gets in on the act!

Four, then six over the leg-side - Ireland believe!

Mark Adair takes one to the square-leg sweeper, and goes to his first T20I half-century.

He holds the key for Ireland.

Two dots to start the 16th over from Gavin Main - priceless.

Mark Adair slaps Mark Watt through the covers for four, and then pinches a single to keep the strike.

He's got 49 from 22 balls; Ireland need 58 more to win.

That's a sitter at international level.

Barry McCarthy tries to cut Mark watt away, but slices it straight to Chris Greaves at backward point.

Straight in, and straight out of the hands. Scotland look rattled...

Six again! 'Catch it' is the cry, but it's well over the fielder at long-on.

Mark Adair has 42 from just 16 balls.

Michael Leask drops short, way too short, and is pumped out of the ground by Mark Adair.

The next ball is dispatched down the ground for six more!

The home crowd is a lot quieter than half an hour ago.

Safyaan Sharif is back into the attack, and Mark Adair deftly scoops one off his stumps to the fine-leg boundary.

Ireland aren't out of this yet. They need 84 from 42 balls...
