Scotland managed to keep their hopes alive for the World Cup 2023 in India. However, the two-time World Cup winners West Indies have been eliminated from the race. This is the first time in history that West Indies have failed to qualify for the ODI World Cup. The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 will be the first World Cup without West Indies.

Overall, West Indies have had a horrible campaign as they lost to Zimbabwe, Netherlands, and now Scotland in the qualifiers. The champions of the 1975 and 1979 editions will need a massive turnaround to get back on track after the heartbreak in Zimbabwe.
