Trinidad and Tobago held to a 43-43 draw in their final group game in the Netball World Cup 2019
With this Scotland will finish in 11th place at best in the Netball World Cup.
The Thistles – who had targeted a top-eight finish – needed to win against the world’s 10th best team to have a shot at finishing ninth.
The Thistles moved into the third quarter 22-21 ahead but there was never more than a three-goal gap in a frenetic contest in which each team edged ahead only to be pegged back.
But going in to the final quarter, the sides were tied at 34-34 and Sam Wallace scored three times in 70 seconds to give Trinidad & Tobago the momentum before the dramatic last-gasp finish.
But Gail Parata’s seventh-ranked side needed a Lynsey Gallagher penalty shot on the buzzer to salvage a draw.
Scotland now face Barbabos on Saturday (09:00 BST) in the 11th-place play-off.
