Well since your opponent broke his stick...you need to make it worth his anger and run your remaining stripes off the table!
It appears that you either have to shoot a combo, or take the 12 ball before you make the 14 ball.
This shape is crucial...if you don't get a good angle to get the 14 ball...you'll have to get that shape off the 10 ball instead.
Once you get the 14 ball....it should be easy pickin'
If it looks like a scratch shot, just hit it softly and the 8 ball is money.
I usually shoot the ducks rail-first instead of cutting it back...lots of pool tables have a bad "roll-out" on them!
How would you do it?

You are lucky...your opponent rattled the 8 ball (and broke his stick on the table) and you have a chance to beat him.
Definitely not easy...

I like taking the stripe down on the rail first instead of trying for the breakout shot first. If you try the breakout shot first, you need to break out the 9 ball and get shape on the 9 to get down to the 14 ball. But by taking the 14 first, the breakout off the 13 should be easy with both the 9 and 8 ball down on the same end of the table.
Thoughts? What would you do?

Your opponent scratched making his last solid and trying to break out the 8 ball. You have stripes and ball-in hand...win this game!
