Scotland have managed to post a moderate total on the board. It might be slight under-par considering England's deep batting lineup. Horley struggled for rhythm upfront and departed cheaply.

So, Scotland have scraped their way to 109. The Bryce sisters did the bulk of the scoring, with Sarah managing 27 and Kathryn notching up 33. Horley and Lister also got starts but were unable to cash in, with Horley, in particular, struggling during the powerplay. Apart from the individual numbers, there was a collective lack of tempo and despite being just one down at the drinks interval, Scotland could not cash in, often losing wickets whenever they tried to up the ante.

Another accomplished bowling display by England. Ecclestone was again miserly, giving away only 13 runs and picking up two wickets. Glenn was the only bowler to not be among the wickets and that sums up how controlled and coherent their bowling performance was. They will be pretty confident of chasing this down and if they can get ahead of the game early, they might even look at certain NRR calculations. Join us in a bit for the run-chase!

Kathryn Bryce: Just tried to enjoy out there. Seems like a pretty good track. Wanted to access the boundaries and rotate strike. Gives us something to go out and defend with the ball. Real excitement for today, knowing it is our last game. Just wanted to enjoy this last game. It has been fantastic. Steep learning curve for a lot of girls but nice to have that experience under the belt. There was not a huge amount of spin, pretty good wicket and we have to bowl as straight as possible.

England is going to improve their run rate a lot.

Congratulations to the England team for their glorious victory over Scotland.

Well, that was quick, wasn't it? 10 overs is all it took for England to ice this run-chase, with both of their openers making merry in the Sharjah sunshine. Bouchier started it all off with a flurry of boundaries, and Wyatt-Hodge followed suit soon after. They smashed the ball to all parts and showed no mercy to the tournament debutants, giving them an inkling of how tough it is to compete against the biggest gunslingers in the game.

A tough end to a tough debut campaign for Scotland. This experience may yet enrich them, but for now, it is a day that will sting. They simply had no answers once England came after them, and their lack of accuracy was laid bare. They bowled both sides of the wicket and were, unsurprisingly, punished.

Congratulations to England for winning the match.

Congratulations to Maia Bouchier for winning the PoTM award.

Cheers..
