Scotland have lost their last four wickets in successive balls in a frenzied last over as Zimbabwe levelled their Twenty20 series with a 10-run win at the Grange in Edinburgh.

Chasing 137 to move into an unassailable 2-0 series lead on Friday, Scotland needed 13 from the final six balls, but two wickets for Wellington Masakadza and a couple of run-outs meant the hosts were skittled out for 126 in 19.4 overs.

The hosts had recovered from 4-16 thanks to knocks of 42 from both Richie Berrington and Matthew Cross after Zimbabwe, who elected to bat first, posted 5-136, having stumbled to 3-20 on a tricky surface.

Zimbabwe, who lost Wednesday's series opener by seven runs at the same venue, were grateful for Sean Williams underpinning their innings with an unbeaten 60 from 52 balls, a knock containing five fours and a six.

Their total was ultimately decisive after Scotland imploded from 6-124 ahead of the final over.

The series decider is on Sunday.
