Women’s T20 World Cup qualifier: Scotland win to reach semis

Scotland powered into the semi-finals at the Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier with a six-wicket win over Thailand in their last group match.

Captain Kathyrn Bryce led the way with an unbeaten 63 as the Scots reached 100-4 with 13 balls to spare in Abu Dhabi.

Bryce arrived at the crease with Scotland on 16-2 and hit nine fours from the 58 balls she faced.

Earlier, Hannah Rainey and Abtaha Maqsood each took two wickets as Thailand were restricted to 99-5 from their 20 overs.

Scotland finish second in Group A, behind Sri Lanka, and will face the winners of Group B – either Ireland or Netherlands – in the last four.

Only the finalists will progress to the T20 World Cup in Bangladesh later this year.
